Praise for Raymond E. Feist:
‘File under guilty pleasure’ Guardian
‘Get in at the start of a master’s new series’ Daily Sport
‘Well-written and distinctly above average… intelligent… intriguing’ Publishers Weekly
‘ Epic scope…vivid imagination…a significant contribution to the growth of the field of fantasy’ Washington Post
The penultimate volume of the mighty Riftwar Cycle
War rages in Midkemia but behind the chaos there is disquieting evidence of dark forces at work.
Jim Dasher’s usually infallible intelligence network has been cleverly dismantled; nowhere is safe. He feels that the world is coming apart at the seams and is helpless to protect his nation.
Quiet palace coups are underway in Roldem and Rillanon; and King Gregory of the Isles has yet to produce an heir. In each kingdom a single petty noble has risen from obscurity to threaten the throne.
Lord Hal of Crydee and his great friend Ty Hawkins, champion swordsman of the Masters’ Court, are entrusted with the task of smuggling Princess Stephané and her lady-in-waiting, the lovely but mysterious Lady Gabriella, out of Roldem to a place of greater safety. But is there any safe haven to be found?
Meanwhile, Hal’s younger brothers Martin and Brendan are attempting to hold the strategic city of Ylith against an onslaught of Keshian Dog Soldiers, and a mysterious force from beneath the sea. The Kingdom might lose Crydee and recover; but if Ylith falls, all is lost.
An unknown player appears to orchestrating these conflicts. Can Pug and the Conclave of Shadows track down this source before Midkemia is destroyed?

3.0 out of 5 stars
Great Story. Shame nobody seems to have proof read it!,

This review is from: A Crown Imperilled (Midkemian Trilogy 2) (Kindle Edition)
Been a big fan of the series since the first book was published and really enjoyed this story. That said I am shocked a book so full of errors could get as far being published. Numerous missing, additional or nonsensical words is bad enough, but mixing up two of the main characters so that they swap places between the start and the middle of the book and therefore a large part of a chapter makes no sense definitely costs at least a star on the rating.

Seriously?,

This review is from: A Crown Imperilled (Midkemian Trilogy 2) (Hardcover)
I received my copy of this today, and could not believe that I received the copy containing the huge printing error. Why are Amazon sending these out after the release date was rescheduled due to the proof reading/printing error?I thought the hold up in the release date meant that these copies would have been returned to the publishers and the new ones sent for distribution! I now have to send my copy back direct to the publishers to get the correct copy. Well done Amazon, thanks for being so helpful!

Should be 4 stars but poor proof reading held it back.,
This review is from: A Crown Imperilled (Midkemian Trilogy 2) (Kindle Edition)
Feist's latest offering deserves 4 stars, delivering just what you've come to expect and a step up from the last book leaving it above the average for the series as a whole. However...The kindle edition is riddled with errors! Frequently the wrong words seem to have been auto-selected by the spell checker it was run through, and there are an astounding number of sentences with words missing. I don't know if the print edition is any better but I'm amazed that any publisher could let a title as large as this go to market in such an unpolished state. The sheer quantity of errors knocks one star off what is otherwise a great read.
