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

Is the book too long? Rebekah - 18/01/2010 05:20:54 PM 1196 Views
I would be curious to see the original version too. Tashmere - 18/01/2010 11:55:06 PM 1124 Views

Magician is one of my favourite fantasy books. Rebekah - 18/01/2010 05:27:02 PM 1318 Views
I couldn't have said it better *NM* Nolan - 19/01/2010 03:31:38 PM 534 Views
A "comfort read". I like that description. Tashmere - 20/01/2010 03:14:53 AM 1158 Views
The Empire series is better than Feist by himself, IMO. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 07:55:30 AM 1242 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 1100 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 1142 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 1029 Views
first time i read Servant of the Empire imlad - 27/01/2010 06:19:42 PM 1109 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 1181 Views
It is a very good introduction into the fantasy genre... and a fun read. *NM* Jacob - 19/01/2010 03:26:34 PM 512 Views
Is it, though? Nebhead - 20/01/2010 06:32:19 PM 1378 Views
If not Magician, then what? Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 07:50:35 PM 1197 Views
How is WoT weighty in comparison to Magician? Jacob - 20/01/2010 08:22:05 PM 1110 Views
Re: How is WoT weighty in comparison to Magician? Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 08:45:48 PM 1230 Views
Absolutely. Jacob - 20/01/2010 08:19:19 PM 1162 Views
May I ask... Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:25:19 PM 1140 Views
I think Feist's writing is superior to Jordan's. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 10:29:20 PM 1106 Views
Well, as I said, I'm having to base this on the Empire books... Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:56:27 PM 1092 Views
Jordan has written not one believable female. Not one. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 10:59:25 PM 1120 Views
I find the suggestion insulting. Jacob - 21/01/2010 06:13:03 PM 1081 Views
I meant no offense. Legolas - 21/01/2010 08:05:08 PM 1236 Views

Re: Aye, so do I. Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 09:02:03 PM 1074 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 1180 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 1085 Views
I imagine so, yeah. Legolas - 21/01/2010 07:45:45 PM 1116 Views
