As far as Feist goes this is extremely fun to read and is written in much the same style as the last 6 books. However it is often simplistic and you get the impression that the author is just trying to churn out the books due to the publisher's demands.
The storyline is good and introduces a whole new range of powerful characters all of who are magic users. This gives a bit of spice to the story which is often lacking in previous books. However, most of the book consists of the main characters discussing what to do and you get the impression that this book is just setting the scene for the next one.
There is a massive shock ending which involves a bit of action, but a lot more could have been good. The story is rapped up very quickly in the last few pages and lacks emotion. But all in all, a very enjoyable read.

Feist returns with another great book.
Not one of his greatest, but it clearly is setting the scene for future novels.
There are a number of suprises through out the book, especially at the end of it..
Infact I had to read the end a number of times to ensure what I read was correct..
A must for all fans..

having read most of feist's books,enjoying the early ones (up to buccaneer) the most but the more recent ones, more in hope than expectation. i picked this latest one up as i'm a sucker for continuations of story lines and my curiosity got the better of me, but yet and again i have been let down by what i consider to be nothing more than a marketing ploy. the writing is substandard, disjointed and the plot lines very predicable with very little new approaches to story telling, the new characters tired rehashed spin offs & very much a clone of previous books. i feel now that feist is living off past glories and should really put his pen down and leave it to those authors willing to think outside the cliches he runs through, its almost by numbers with this book... if it was marketed for a teenage audience i could almost make a case for it, almost. but if you are a serious reader beware. it will leave you completely unsatisfied. personally i wont be reading anymore new feist books as this put the final nail in the coffin so to speak. check steven erikson for a proper adult storys told like it should be..

If you're a Raymond E Feist fan its worth reading, if you're indifferent its much like the others, so probably not worth it

Typical Feist
Another typical Feist book, a great read, good page turner and part of an ongoing storyline but still worthwhile as a standalone book.

Avoid at all costs
This is awful, too short (more like a prologue than an actual novel), no real story and certainly no real ending, limited plot, no character development, just don't waste your... Read more
