Rating:  Summary: THATS NOT FEIST Review: well, first i have read all the books written by Feist and they are the best. This whole series is not like his other books. I personally like books with battles(like magician). This book is more like a computer game, not like a true fantasy book. One reason that i didn't like this book was that i am soooooo fed up with James(jimmy the hand). And anyways if u read all the books you know the ending already. James will live, Locklear dies,..... In his later books he writes about it.I recommend all the books by Feist(exclude the Riftwar Legacy) and all the books by Tokien "please Feist write as you used too."
Rating:  Summary: Good Read Review: What is with all the negative reviews for this book? It is a good book, it has an interesting wellpaced plot, that should keep any readers intrest to the end. Not Mr. Feist's best work but hardly a bad book.
Rating:  Summary: Darn good fun Review: While I wouldn't rate this as the best book Feist has ever written, I always welcome anything written by Feist as I never fail to be enteretained by his work. The story is a bit predictable and even contrived at points and I'm always a little put off by demons and vampires and the clear visions Feist gives of evil. However, I enjoyed reading more of "Jimmy the Hand" and William and the Crawler thing is, in many ways, more interesting than going to other worlds and walking amidst the "city of the gods". I had to buy this via amazon.uk, but it was worth the extra money.
Rating:  Summary: Overall a Disappointment Review: While this was entertaining in parts I must agree with most of the other reviewers of this book that it was overall a disappointment when one looks at The Riftwar Trilogy and the Empire Trilogy (cowritten with Janny Wurts) one sees a definite drop in standards' The Krondor series lacks the depth which one enjoys in other Feist novels as well as the character development and interplay between the characters Its just one melee after the other.It was so easy to see that it is just an addition transcript of a D&D or Computer Fantasy Game session Jazharra adds some interest to the book but like the others her character is not explored in any of the depth which we usually see in Feist's novels Furthermore various potentially interesting characters such as the girl-thief Nita disappear before we get to know them Midkemia and Kelewan are fantastic world created by Feist , and have all the depth and scope of Tolkiens Middle Earth What a pity that this series does Fiest 's world a disservice
Rating:  Summary: Oddly Disappointing Review: Why is the paperback version is yet available, I bought one 2 weeks ago from a bookstore in the backwater island of Malta. After reading the book I felt strangely disappointed, Assassins and The Betrayal seemed to have much more to chew on. This one seemed a little flat, given Feist's previous works. Apart from that, given the inconclusive manner in which the story ends, it seems to suggest a sequel which I can't find a hint of anywhere. Does someone know something we don't??? All in all I feel Feist has produced far better works than this.
