3,5 stars + 0,5 nostalgia starsIt's kinda fun how much I remembered from Magician and how little I remembered from this one. Also 90% of what I remembered from this book I thought happened in A Darkness at Sethanon and not this one (I thought the whole of Pug's plotline took part in Sethanon but apparently i misremembered). So now I remember very little of what happens in the last book.I also remember finding this book weaker than Magician back when I was 13-14. Mostly because I was pissy PugFor some strange reason i have really struggled to get going on this one, maybe because its so long ago I read volume 1 (or 1 and 2 ) but recently I found this brilliant audio version and of it went.This is classic fantasy at its best, I was a little reminded of Wheel of Time at places, this one is just better written and edited.Even though its been years since I read the previous volume, the main characters comes quickly back in memory and Feist does a good job reintroducing them.The actual
4.5 stars****Although there are points in the story that not much action happens. Im not sure what it is but the older style fantasy with the strong journey or quest really takes me along for a ride with the characters. This style of book feels comfortable and enjoyable to read. I cant wait to read the next part and complete the Riftwar Saga!
I found this book quite different to Magician. It spanned a far shorter period of time and concentrated on a smaller band of characters. I adore Jimmy the Hand and really enjoyed his role in the story. He made me laugh a lot :) The story was fun and well paced and kept my interest all the way through.I took issue with the fact that the goodreads description gave away plot points that were only revealed one and two thirds of the way into the book, respectively. I'm not a fan of spoilers.On to A
Just did not click with this one. 'Magician' was such a classic but this was all rather mundane with very little magic and the very annoying Jimmy the Hand. All a bit predictable and instantly forgettable. Sorry,
lots of good ideas and lots of cliches with this one. one thing that bothered me was that everyone used the same speech: the royalty, the highborns, the elves, the aliens, the thieves, the assassins all spoke the same way, with the same words.
A very interesting follow on from the first book with a lot more drama and a lot less world-setting which is cool but also slightly baffling...Such a different style of book though, very odd. I like it in it's own right but it's a very weird continuation...
