Magician Master
Remember Pug, the apprentice to Kulgan, who has been taken prisoner by the Tsurani. Is now the property of the Shinzawai. There he is visited by a Great One - a Magician on the Tsurani Homeworld of Kelewan - where Pug is discovered to have magical talents. He is taken and trained to be a Great One, and is given the name Milamber. As a Great One he finds he is the talk of the Empire for his ways. And that he is one who gathers power from both this World and Midkemia. And at the Imperial Fetival, during the Entertainment humiliates the Warlord. He is banished as a trader, and is to be killed. He escapes back to Midkemia. With his wife Katala, and son William. And with the aid of Macros the Black closes the Rift.
The book was completely gripping from cover to cover. Feist used imagination beyond belief, to bring a Fantasy Novel, worth reading over and over. A must for the avid fantasy buff, all that you could ever want is in this book!
The book had fast action on the epic level, and it makes you unable to put the book down. There is no doubt that Raymond E. Feist, has come close to outdoing himself!

Mr. Fiest does a wonderful job of creating very realistic characters. We feel ourselves pulled along as the characters develope and grow. The story revolves around three main characters (Pug, Thomas, and Arutha). With the onset of the war these three characters are split up and we experience the growth of price Arutha into an excellant leader and general, who is responsible for defending the Western realm of the Kingdom of the Isles. Pug, the orphan of the keep, learns the poweful magic of the invading Tsurannuani while a prisoner of war. Finally, Thomas developes into a legendary warrior with the help of a dragon and elves. As the three characters develope and the fate of two worlds rests on the brink of oblivion the reader will not be able to put down the book until the very end. I recomend all the books in this series very highly. Additionally, I recomend reading the Daughter of the Empire, Servant of the Empire, and the Mistress of the Empire: These are co-written by R. Fiest and Janny Wurts. This story is written from the side of the TsuranuanBook Review: Wonderful Novel.
Summary: 5 Stars
Raymond E Feist, an author of as far as I am concerned, too little renown. This book begins what has become to my mind the ultimate definition of the fantasy genre, the Riftwar Saga. Feist somehow managed to pull off all of the required elements which are needed to make a great fantasy novel, without causing readers who are not too familiar with role-playing games of this nature any difficulty in understanding. You want magic? It's here, in phenomenal description. Some dragons? The legendary creatures of might? This book has it. Even the concepts of political intrigue are not unexplored in this book. Without a doubt one of the most gripping reads I have ever encountered, despite its size which many who are not interested in this particular genre would find daunting. It becomes one of the few great novels of all time. Feist writes in a beautifully competent manner, with many complexities and nuances which can only be discovered from reading a wonderful book. Without a doubt, a book I will always remember and hold in high regard.Book Review: A very good read
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all this book I dont think is a stand alone book. Originally this book and Magicain Apprentice were one book just called Magician. This book concludes where Magician Apprentice left off. Pug, in Kelwan, and, Tomas in Elfandor. This book brings up conflicts for Pug because while living in Kelwan he becomes a "Great One", or a magicain of high social status. Actually these guys are untouchable. But when he under went his training he developed a loyalty to the world that is at war with his home world, Midkemia. Tomas on the other hand is having trouble making the transition form a human to a god like being. In Apprentice he received a gift from a Golden Dragon, for keeping him company in his dying hour. This gift is armor, once worn by a Dragon Lord named Ashen Shugar. This armor is kind of addicting, Tomas sleeps in it, eats in it, doesnt ever take it off. In this armor is the essence of Ashen Shugar, which is trying to take over Tomas body.
