Book Reviews of Magician: Master (Riftwar Saga, Book 2)
Book Review: Very good
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very different book then the first no more boys at play no more silly princesses pacing around experiencing courtly love all the boys are men and everyone has come a long way from Crydee. The Riftwar has been raging for almost 6 years when the novel opens Tomas is now a great war leader scriting close to the edge of sanity. Pug is enslaved on the home planet of the Rift War aliens but his part in the story is not done yet.
Overall-This half of the book is much stronger then the first symbolizing both how the characters have matured and how Feist has matured as an author. The only problem I have with the book is with most Feist books later on the climax is much too convenient and comes on too quickly. Still a very enjoyable read.
Book Review: A young boy's prophesy...
Summary: 5 Stars
Early in Magician-Apprentice, Pug joking "prophesies" that he will one day be the greatest Magician in the world. Then, when the action is reaching a peak, he disapears from the book, never to return.
In Magician-Master we discover why. Here we see Pug's growth to a Great One, a true Master of the arcane. Feist deftly tells the story of his character's growth and then returns him to the main storyline with a fluidity that is easy to follow and understand.
This book was so compelling I could scarcely put it down. Feist continues to amaze with his character development, and you truly share the characters triumphs and tragedies.
If you are a fan of high fantasy, this book will enthrall you.
Book Review: The Greatest Novel Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I pride myself on my overly large library of fantasy novels and I have found that this is the greatest novel in it. The book is truly majestic, beginning with the chracter Pug, and although the name Pug is not exactly spectacular, the chracter is. We find that Pug goes on to reach heights never imagined of this simple keep boy when he becomes a Tsurani Great One. Aside from Pug, another of my favorite chracters is definately Macros the Black. Feist keeps us in wonder, subtlely informing us of Macros' god-like powers. The plot is engrossing, and from the first page of Pug cutting down an Ngaggi tree to the last page of the book where Pug and the other chracters are finally able to rest, you will be hooked.Book Review: Feist's best! (Along with Apprentice)
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is well written and continues the tradition of Apprentice. The empire of Kelewan is even cooler then you could have imagined! Remember Macros? I hope so. We finally see magic in a light more consistent with Niven's Warlock's Era. (I recommend this too.) In comparison to the Hobbit and most TV shows, magic is done quite well here. The book has no major gaping flaws, although a couple of small logical disconnects. I think it's very good and shows what a true master Feist is. He doesn't drag you to his conclusions. It's entirely possible to miss them until Pug reveals them. The world is totally alien, yet the action continues on Midkemia. You won't believe the ending! Highly recommended.Book Review: Very good, interesting & spellbounding
Summary: 5 Stars
Actually by doing this review, I'll be doing it for both magician apprentice and master as a whole. Both books i would say are.........GREAT!!!!!!!! In the apprentice what is interesting are the adventures Pug and Tomas experienced together, especially the part with the dwarf chieftain, Dogan. And also the part where Tomas met the dragon and got himself a unique and powerful armour. In the master, its equally exciting, because it starts to talk about how Pug discovers the unknown power within him and unleashes it. Full of magic, war and mystery. Contains all the ingredients perfect for a fantasy book. ( and I would say all the ingredients are of the Highest quality). A must to read!
