Summary: big disappointment in midkemia
Review: This book is sooooooooooo boring! the beginning started out great then as they came to stardock everything went downhill!!!! this is the most boring book i have ever read and to be honest i'm embarrassed to say that because feist is my favorite author.......i fell in love with magician within the first chapter; i could not put it down! the same went with silverthorn-(the best book ever written IMO) Then AdaS showed how feist's style was changing........i don't know if i will continue with him....since when did he turn Sci-Fi? since when has his books sounded like a sopeopra? anyway, feist's style has changed for the worst IMO.

Summary: Feist continues to write excellent adventures...
Review: This book isn't better than Magician,but it still reflects R.E.F's unimaginable skill at writing fantastic stories.The intigrues and betrayals of Keshian nobles were very interesting and well-thought.A must-read!

Summary: Fabulous fun for Feist fans
Review: This is one of best, most captivating novels in the land of Midkemia. If you have read the great riftwar saga, and would like to read more Feist, The Prince of the Blood is an excellent choice. The kingdom has enjoyed twenty years of peace since the final battle at Sethanon, and now Arutha'stwin sons' Borric and Erland are coming into their manhood. Arutha, in an effort to turn his fun-loving boys into the wise rulers they will have to become, sends them to the exotic empire of Keshp on a diplomatic mission. In Kesh, the brothers encounter adventures they, and you, will rememberfor a lifetime. In a land vastly greater and more powerful than the one their uncle rules, with every step they take, they face assassins that are trying to kill them for reasons they can't begin to understand. This is an excellent addition to Feist's collection of Riftwar-related novels and should not be overlooked by anyone who is even mildly interested in fantasy!

Summary: High adventure and a departure for Feist
Review: This novel is really one of Feist's best. Let's get real here: Feist could never be accused of being a great writer but what he does he does very well; and that is constructing shallow but entertaining fantasy adventure tales with likeable characters that offer a few hours of escape. Not that I'm complaining about that. I've been a fan since Magician.This one is a bit of a departure for Feist being a stand alone adventure in Midkemia and more of a 'journey fantasy' than the strictly plot based Riftwar Saga books. As usual a slow start soon ratchets up into high action and adventure as Princes Borric and Erland traverse the great desert in Kesh on a diplomatic mission. They encounter assassins and the infamous Durbin Slavers Guild before running into Feist's two best characters: Ghuda and Nakor the Isalani (my personal favourite!) and eventually on into the Imperial City where they become enmeshed in the Empire's own seething political intrigues. This is actually my favorite Feist novel (even though Magician was a more original and fully realized tale with engaging characters).

Summary: Less outlandish than Feist's other work
Review: This was my favorite of Raymond Feist's books so far. I think he usually has plots that are a little too farfetched--Pug and Tomas get insanely powerful in the first four books, beyond the norm even for a fantasy novel. I thought it was nice for a change just to have two boys facing realistic challenges like assassins and court intrigues in a distant land. A nice coming of age story, with interesting characters like Nakor to add flavor. None of those "what the heck?" moments like the scenes from earlier books that didn't make much sense (example-almost any scene with Macros).

Summary: It had every element needed in a good book
Review: This was one of Feists more humorous books, it also had everything else that was needed in a good book, adventure, love, death, strong characters, and a strong intertwining plot

Summary: This book is woth reading
Review: Well, this is certainly a better book than others that came later, but its not quite as good as Magician, Darkness at Sethanon, and Silverthorn. The most annoying thing I found about Mr. Feist is that he reuses names for new characters. Erland and Boric are the names of the former prince of krondor and the former duke of Crydee. This can be confusing. I have seen this happen in Shards of a broken crown as well, with James.
I would recommend this book to you, although anything past this would be not worth your time. The first four books written by this author are worth reading, but the others are not.

Review: When this book first was about to come out I was waiting with so much excitement only to be diappointed... too orientalist for my tastes...

Summary: The Second Book in a very Feisty Series
Review: When you say the word Feist you know it's going to be great. Well this book doesn't dissapoint. Read about Arutha's kids and learn how they gain the wisdom to rule their kingdom in the future. Another 5 +++ star book. Another question of why?? is the Hero so much better?
