The relationship I found disturbing was the one young Tomas had with Aglaranna, the Elven queen that we’re told is centuries old. The rest of my comments will have to go in spoiler tags: I’m really looking forward to the next book, which if I remember correctly focuses more on the characters who grew to be my favorites. I’m rating this 4.5 stars, the same as the previous book, but this time I’m going to round down to 4 stars on Goodreads. I just noticed a few more small flaws this time around. I did still enjoy it very much, and for a lot of the same reasons. So this review doesn’t sing as many praises as did my review of the first book, but I don’t want to leave the wrong impression. From what I remember, the Emptire Trilogy co-written with Janny Wurts has a much stronger female main character. However, I know some people care about that a lot more than I do so I thought I’d mention it. I like strong female characters of course, but I don’t need every book I read to have them. They’re all minor characters and they mostly just show up so that their admiring men can see them being brave in the face of danger and hardships, and so we can see them being supportive of the men they care about. I think I was almost through the end of the book when a female character ( Katala) was once again being brave and supportive before I finally noticed that females are really underrepresented in these books. Aside from that, I did continue to enjoy the story and the characters very much. I’ll discuss it a bit more in the spoiler tags at the end of my review. Fortunately the relationships didn’t play a very large role in the story so they never reached the point of annoying me, although I did find one of the relationships uncomfortable to read about. There are definitely some great moments though, especially toward the end! Several characters were paired off, and it got a bit insta-lovey at times. I enjoyed this nearly as much as Magician: Apprentice, but it did have a bit less of an ensemble feel with some characters going off in different directions for most of the book, so it lacked some of the camaraderie that I had enjoyed in the first book. Although there are two more books in this subseries, this one finishes the main storylines that were begun with Magician: Apprentice and comes to a satisfying conclusion. Feist’s Riftwar Cycle, the first subseries in the longer Riftwar Saga. Magician: Master is the second book in Raymond E.

I sincerely hope to call this one of my absolute favorite fantasy series. :) I cannot WAIT to dig into all the rest. Unforgettable characters, immense battle, tactics, strategy, and mindblowing magic at all the very best instances. Harrowing sailing, intrigue and politics in cities, and 9 years of a long, long war with the peoples across the rift. What a change from his past life! But while this is all fondly remembered from before, what becomes a real treat for me is life back at home. Pug gets kidnapped in the previous book and sent to an alternate world across a rift in space and time, spends years as a slave, gets discovered by the powerful mages there as one of their own, gets trained and indoctrinated.

Magician master raymond e feist series#
:)Īs a matter of fact, now that I've had a lot of time to read and process a very large assortment of fantasy novels both epic and derivative and sometimes both, I can confidently say that this may very well be as good as the WoT series that I have been known to put so much store by. I'm SO happy to realize that my original love of these books in my youth remains as bright in my middle age.
