Re: Characters *spoilers* Nolan Send a noteboard - 19/01/2010 03:49:30 PM
Who is your favourite character?

Martin Longbow, He had the most fun except the little bit about his father death

Did you dislike any of them?

Meecham He didn't really do anything, except in the very begining. Still a Wizard needs a Warrior

Do you think they're well written

Pretty good development throughout (for most)

Does anyone seem particularly believable, or particularly unbelievable?

Roddric Why was he against Erland? The whole maddness thing seems too conveneit

No, that sounds right. Legolas - 19/01/2010 12:16:58 AM 1322 Views
Shodow of a Dark Queen was a very very good book AgentOrange - 19/01/2010 09:00:47 AM 1288 Views

Is the book too long? Rebekah - 18/01/2010 05:20:54 PM 1335 Views
I would be curious to see the original version too. Tashmere - 18/01/2010 11:55:06 PM 1250 Views

Magician is one of my favourite fantasy books. Rebekah - 18/01/2010 05:27:02 PM 1425 Views
I couldn't have said it better *NM* Nolan - 19/01/2010 03:31:38 PM 604 Views
A "comfort read". I like that description. Tashmere - 20/01/2010 03:14:53 AM 1274 Views
The Empire series is better than Feist by himself, IMO. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 07:55:30 AM 1374 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 1201 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 1251 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 1160 Views
first time i read Servant of the Empire imlad - 27/01/2010 06:19:42 PM 1264 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 1320 Views
It is a very good introduction into the fantasy genre... and a fun read. *NM* Jacob - 19/01/2010 03:26:34 PM 601 Views
Is it, though? Nebhead - 20/01/2010 06:32:19 PM 1503 Views
If not Magician, then what? Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 07:50:35 PM 1315 Views
How is WoT weighty in comparison to Magician? Jacob - 20/01/2010 08:22:05 PM 1259 Views
Re: How is WoT weighty in comparison to Magician? Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 08:45:48 PM 1366 Views
Absolutely. Jacob - 20/01/2010 08:19:19 PM 1314 Views
May I ask... Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:25:19 PM 1263 Views
I think Feist's writing is superior to Jordan's. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 10:29:20 PM 1243 Views
Well, as I said, I'm having to base this on the Empire books... Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:56:27 PM 1221 Views
Jordan has written not one believable female. Not one. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 10:59:25 PM 1237 Views
I find the suggestion insulting. Jacob - 21/01/2010 06:13:03 PM 1206 Views
I meant no offense. Legolas - 21/01/2010 08:05:08 PM 1361 Views

I've reread the original Riftwar books and the Empire series multiple time imlad - 27/01/2010 06:29:27 PM 1291 Views
yeah, much better intro to fantasy then say David Eddings ** shudders ** *NM* imlad - 27/01/2010 06:22:51 PM 573 Views

Re: Aye, so do I. Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 09:02:03 PM 1196 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 1293 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 1224 Views
I imagine so, yeah. Legolas - 21/01/2010 07:45:45 PM 1229 Views
