Crazy. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 19/01/2010 07:33:48 PM
I used to be in love with her when I read it in the 9th grade. I loved how Pug was always fumbling around her, but in a more realistic way than Rand would be around Egwene.

Maybe it's a girl thing. :P

I do agree that it's more realistic than Rand & Egwene, but that's not difficult.

Arutha was indeed monumental in this book. Well the whole Seige of Crydee gave the feeling of desperation by both sides.

Oh, yes. One of my favourite parts in the book.

But my fav is Tomas. Or Ashen Shugar really. I feel Feist succesfully explored the 'alienness' of the Valheru. In retrospect it reminds me of the slake-moths from Street Station, though not as weird.

He did do a good job with that. Even more so in later books. ;)

Is the book too long? Rebekah - 18/01/2010 05:20:54 PM 1363 Views
I would be curious to see the original version too. Tashmere - 18/01/2010 11:55:06 PM 1281 Views

Magician is one of my favourite fantasy books. Rebekah - 18/01/2010 05:27:02 PM 1468 Views
I couldn't have said it better *NM* Nolan - 19/01/2010 03:31:38 PM 623 Views
A "comfort read". I like that description. Tashmere - 20/01/2010 03:14:53 AM 1311 Views
The Empire series is better than Feist by himself, IMO. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 07:55:30 AM 1418 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 1227 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 1294 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 1197 Views
first time i read Servant of the Empire imlad - 27/01/2010 06:19:42 PM 1298 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 1363 Views
It is a very good introduction into the fantasy genre... and a fun read. *NM* Jacob - 19/01/2010 03:26:34 PM 622 Views
Is it, though? Nebhead - 20/01/2010 06:32:19 PM 1540 Views

Re: How is WoT weighty in comparison to Magician? Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 08:45:48 PM 1411 Views
Absolutely. Jacob - 20/01/2010 08:19:19 PM 1361 Views
May I ask... Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:25:19 PM 1301 Views
I think Feist's writing is superior to Jordan's. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 10:29:20 PM 1281 Views
Well, as I said, I'm having to base this on the Empire books... Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:56:27 PM 1261 Views
Jordan has written not one believable female. Not one. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 10:59:25 PM 1270 Views
I find the suggestion insulting. Jacob - 21/01/2010 06:13:03 PM 1239 Views
I meant no offense. Legolas - 21/01/2010 08:05:08 PM 1392 Views

Re: Aye, so do I. Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 09:02:03 PM 1231 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 1339 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 1266 Views
I imagine so, yeah. Legolas - 21/01/2010 07:45:45 PM 1272 Views
