Rating:  Summary: Gripping and all consuming, a most excellent read! Review: Fiest does an excellent job of drawing the reader into the Worlds of Midkemia and Kelewan. His characters are excellent and personable. He creates a good blend of magicians, warriors, elves, dwrafs and monsters.
I highly recommend reading Magician: Master and the books following it in the series. It'll keep you glued to your seat and cause you to ignore the normal necessities in life, such as food and water. That's how good it is!!
Rating:  Summary: The wonders of Fiest Review: 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
Rating:  Summary: Fiest did an excellent job with this series! Review: I've read the whole series and would recommend it to everyone. I have even read it several other times and enjoy it every time. I'd like to see this series made into a movie
Rating:  Summary: The perfect read! Review: This book was just as exciting reading it the fifth time as it was the very first. Every character brings you into the story and keeps you involved page after pag
Rating:  Summary: The best ever book!! Review: I had never read any fantasy books until Magician and can say its the best story I have ever read. Raymond Fiest is a legen
Rating:  Summary: Read it twice, and it only got better! Review: This book picks right up were you were left
"hanging" in Magician: Apprentice. It lays the roadwork for what becomes the most inviting and Mystically action packed series. Where the characters become family members, generation after generation, an ability of characterization few authors master! I have read EVERY single book in the series TWICE!, simply because Feist could not put them out fast enough!
Rating:  Summary: Totally gripping....Kept me spellbound throughout! Review: 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!
Rating:  Summary: a book that grabs your attention right from the start Review: This book is a masterpiece of superb fantasy! After the first page, it was impossible to put this book down. This book was wonderful and gave great insight into the world of midkemia and Kelewan! The character are realistic and fleshed out beautifully. The book is full of excitement and romance and never has a dull moment. I would recomend this book to any fantasy fan
Rating:  Summary: Read Lord of the Rings? This is the college version!! Review: The Entire Riftwar Saga, by Raymond E. Feist---Don't forget
this name!! This 4 book series builds with almost nothing in the way of fast happenings... It builds like quality foreplay
to that perfect conclusion: the satisfied reader!! Hints of happenings dropped in the first book suddenly appear in the 4th book... never a loose string dropped: and there are many!
Everything throughout the 4 book series is interconnected. The plot pulls along a beginning reader, drawing them into a fascinating web of intrigue that continually builds...
To the college level readers... well you'll have to read the
entire series several times to catch the hundreds of nuances
that pop up and connect not just in one book, but the entire series. If you read Lord of the Rings when you were younger
you MUST READ THIS ENTIRE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating:  Summary: WAR and MAGIC , DRAGONS and HEROS It's all in here Review: 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 it
