Book Reviews of Magician: Master (Riftwar Saga, Book 2)
Book Review: An Epic
Summary: 5 Stars
This first offering in the Riftwar Saga is probably one of the best examples of epic fantasy that you'll likey find. Its main success lies in the "time-jumps" used in the novel - an unorthodox approach that often skips years at a time. In this way we come to fully appreciate the long struggles that the characters must undertake, giving a sense of realism to the whole situation. The characters themselves are subsequently brought to life, aided by a colourful examination of their changing hopes, classic adventures and enlightening interactions. The pace occasionally slows, but not enough to prevent this one from being a classic.Book Review: It captures you imagination and draws you into another world
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was written by someone who understands the world of a misplaced boy who longs for the comfort of belonging and in his seperateness finds that his longing is never completely gratified as he journies from one alien land to another. For the individualist this book will have great meaning as he/she finds him/herself akin to Pug.This story is truly the story of our basic search for belonging and meaning, and the reflection of the dreamer in every one of us.
I recommend this book as a worthwhile read even from a social sciences/humanistic point of view.
Many thanks to the author for such a eccellent work of art.

Summary: 5 Stars
Every time I read this series (17 books which include most or relatives of original characters)I find that I have missed something. I read the riftwar saga the first time in high school back in the late 80's now it is the new millinium and he is still writing and I am still reading. I have read the series now going on my 9th yes that is right the 9th time. I have other writers that I read i.e. (melanie rawn) but none that have captivated me and made me to love the characters (melanie rawn comes the closest) if you have not read the series do you will enjoy every second...

Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book from beginning till end. A friend pulled me on to this series and I thought Apprentice was OK, not great, but a decent read. But Magician really stepped it up for me. I liked how each character stood up in the book and could carry their own section and keep it memorable and wanting to read. This is somewhat unlike Jordan in his saga, but this is just my opinion I guess. The book does come off as showing everyone kind of hooking up, but I liked it. I thought one of the best chapters I have ever read was between Tomas and his "self" I should say, trying not to ruin it.
