Characters Rebekah Send a noteboard - 18/01/2010 05:14:59 PM
Who is your favourite character?

Did you dislike any of them?

Do you think they're well written?

Does anyone seem particularly believable, or particularly unbelievable?

I haven't read Magician in ages, so... Legolas - 18/01/2010 10:16:46 PM 1103 Views
The Hall of Worlds makes a first appearence in... AgentOrange - 19/01/2010 12:01:19 AM 1115 Views
No, that sounds right. Legolas - 19/01/2010 12:16:58 AM 1195 Views
Shodow of a Dark Queen was a very very good book AgentOrange - 19/01/2010 09:00:47 AM 1155 Views

there is a reason for that imlad - 27/01/2010 06:13:08 PM 1094 Views
Doh! I had completely forgotten that. Myrdhyn - 27/01/2010 07:28:08 PM 1219 Views

Is the book too long? Rebekah - 18/01/2010 05:20:54 PM 1179 Views
I would be curious to see the original version too. Tashmere - 18/01/2010 11:55:06 PM 1109 Views

Magician is one of my favourite fantasy books. Rebekah - 18/01/2010 05:27:02 PM 1307 Views
I couldn't have said it better *NM* Nolan - 19/01/2010 03:31:38 PM 523 Views
A "comfort read". I like that description. Tashmere - 20/01/2010 03:14:53 AM 1147 Views
The Empire series is better than Feist by himself, IMO. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 07:55:30 AM 1230 Views
Hmm. Maybe I will give it another shot. Craig was just trying to talk me into that yesterday. Tashmere - 20/01/2010 12:29:25 PM 1089 Views
in that case, you should be wary of the most beautifully written fantasy series of all time imlad - 27/01/2010 06:32:07 PM 1126 Views
Oh, I loved that series! At least after the first hundred pages or so. That didn't qualify as dark Tashmere - 31/01/2010 07:58:08 PM 1012 Views
first time i read Servant of the Empire imlad - 27/01/2010 06:19:42 PM 1095 Views

I think that my husband made a good choice when he used it to help hook and reel me into fantasy. Tashmere - 18/01/2010 11:58:00 PM 1168 Views
It is a very good introduction into the fantasy genre... and a fun read. *NM* Jacob - 19/01/2010 03:26:34 PM 505 Views
Is it, though? Nebhead - 20/01/2010 06:32:19 PM 1359 Views
If not Magician, then what? Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 07:50:35 PM 1187 Views
How is WoT weighty in comparison to Magician? Jacob - 20/01/2010 08:22:05 PM 1090 Views
Re: How is WoT weighty in comparison to Magician? Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 08:45:48 PM 1217 Views
Absolutely. Jacob - 20/01/2010 08:19:19 PM 1146 Views
May I ask... Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:25:19 PM 1124 Views
I think Feist's writing is superior to Jordan's. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 10:29:20 PM 1088 Views
Well, as I said, I'm having to base this on the Empire books... Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:56:27 PM 1078 Views
Jordan has written not one believable female. Not one. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 10:59:25 PM 1102 Views
I find the suggestion insulting. Jacob - 21/01/2010 06:13:03 PM 1068 Views
I meant no offense. Legolas - 21/01/2010 08:05:08 PM 1222 Views
Jacob - 29/01/2010 07:28:02 PM 1196 Views
I've reread the original Riftwar books and the Empire series multiple time imlad - 27/01/2010 06:29:27 PM 1159 Views
yeah, much better intro to fantasy then say David Eddings ** shudders ** *NM* imlad - 27/01/2010 06:22:51 PM 494 Views
Yes, for more mature readers (ie not children). Rebekah - 20/01/2010 08:28:10 PM 1060 Views
Re: Yes, for more mature readers (ie not children). Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 08:46:38 PM 1237 Views
Aye, so do I. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 08:57:29 PM 1170 Views
Re: Aye, so do I. Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 09:02:03 PM 1063 Views
Agreed - people who first read him as adults are probably going to find him boring and repetitive. Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:19:05 PM 1166 Views
I'm pretty sure that that criticism can be levelled at many 'popular' genre writers/series. Jacob - 21/01/2010 06:19:11 PM 1071 Views
I imagine so, yeah. Legolas - 21/01/2010 07:45:45 PM 1101 Views

I started with Narnia at age 7 and read the Hobbit within a year imlad - 29/01/2010 06:01:01 AM 1020 Views
While it has its dark moments, it is much lighter than most fantasy. A very fun, easy read. *NM* Myrdhyn - 19/01/2010 07:50:52 PM 513 Views
Best thing about it is spawning the Empire Series mick - 21/01/2010 02:09:14 AM 1039 Views
