Book Reviews of Magician: Master (Riftwar Saga, Book 2)
Book Review: The wonders of Fiest
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the greatest book I have ever read. I was first introduced to the world of Midkemmia through the book Shadow of a Dark Queen. I fell in love with the people . I felt like I knew them , like I had grown up with them.
Then I found out that I had started at the wrong end of the story line. So without hessitation I purchassed all of the previous books that Fiest had written. I have now read all the books at least twelve times, excluding The Magician, which I have read over twenty times. I was lucky enough to purchase an original hardback copy of the book.
Fiest is by far one of the greatest writers in history. I can't wait for him to write more books
Book Review: With great power comes great responsibility
Summary: 5 Stars
The orphan pug, once apprentice to the magician Kulgan, is taken from his home to another world, Kelewan, as a slave along with his boyhood friend Thomas. It is then a great order of wizards called the Black Robes discover the potential of pug's abilities and teaches his the order. Now called Milamber, he learns of a great evil that is eager to destroy the world he now serves, and his distant home world Medkemia.One of the best novels I have read of this nature. The plots are very deep and rich. You follow main characters from boyhood to maturity and bond with them as they continue their adventures. Get lost in a world of ancient magics, evils, gods, and noble deeds.
Book Review: Midkemia
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was utterly compelling. When I first picked up this book, I was unable to put it down. I had to read all the way to the end to follow Pug and Thomas' adventures through the land of Midkemia. I could do nothing else for the duration of this book. The characters are wonderfully developed, the plot is superb. Nothing about this book is lacking in anyway. I would have to say this is my favourite book and I would strongly advise anyone to buy it and read it instantly! One thing though, I'm not sure if this is the way it is in the US or what but over here in Europe the book is called Magician and not seperated into Magician : Apprentise and Magician : MasterBook Review: WAR and MAGIC , DRAGONS and HEROS It's all in here
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the book all other fantasy books should be judged against. It has it all from a war that spans two worlds,
a Dragon-Lord returned on the edge of maddness, political intrigue, a magician named PUG, and more. Iv'e read
this book many times now and Raymond's incrediable characterizations and his worldly knowledge never stops
to amaze me. This book ,and the rest of the series, blow Tolkien out of the water. In fact he blows every body
out. Think about it, if all of these people are saying all of this stuff about his work, then the man must be doing
something right.
By the way no disrepect to Tolkien, he was the original. Feist just improved on itBook Review: Great continuation!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second book in Feist's original Riftwar Saga. It continues where Magian: Apprentice left off, and really develops the character introduced in that first volume. The story is incredibly imaginative. I really would not want to say more than that about the story. The characters in this are incredible. Some you love to death, some you love to hate, and some remain mysterious. I must say Feist's character work is what makes this series stand out.
Do not read this unless you have read Magician: Apprentice. And, if you can, read this before reading the rest of the saga. As I said, it is incredibly original, imaginative, and very memorable.
