i loved Riftwar bu TOTALLY LOVED the Empire trilogy imlad Send a noteboard - 27/01/2010 06:17:14 PM
The Wurts/Feist books were my favorites by far.
It has been a pretty stressful last few weeks. This book was a very nice escape.

I didn't feel that way about the Jenny Wurtz books though talking about the Tsurani side of the story. I only got about halfway through the first book and gave it up because it seemed dark and hopeless. What did you think of her books? (I am assuming you read them.)

Is the book too long? Rebekah - 18/01/2010 05:20:54 PM 1365 Views
I would be curious to see the original version too. Tashmere - 18/01/2010 11:55:06 PM 1284 Views

Magician is one of my favourite fantasy books. Rebekah - 18/01/2010 05:27:02 PM 1471 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 1313 Views
The Empire series is better than Feist by himself, IMO. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 07:55:30 AM 1422 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 1229 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 1296 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 1199 Views
first time i read Servant of the Empire imlad - 27/01/2010 06:19:42 PM 1301 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 1366 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 1542 Views

Re: How is WoT weighty in comparison to Magician? Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 08:45:48 PM 1413 Views
Absolutely. Jacob - 20/01/2010 08:19:19 PM 1364 Views
May I ask... Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:25:19 PM 1303 Views
I think Feist's writing is superior to Jordan's. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 10:29:20 PM 1283 Views
Well, as I said, I'm having to base this on the Empire books... Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:56:27 PM 1263 Views
Jordan has written not one believable female. Not one. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 10:59:25 PM 1274 Views
I find the suggestion insulting. Jacob - 21/01/2010 06:13:03 PM 1241 Views
I meant no offense. Legolas - 21/01/2010 08:05:08 PM 1395 Views

yeah, much better intro to fantasy then say David Eddings ** shudders ** *NM* imlad - 27/01/2010 06:22:51 PM 588 Views

Re: Aye, so do I. Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 09:02:03 PM 1233 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 1342 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 1268 Views
I imagine so, yeah. Legolas - 21/01/2010 07:45:45 PM 1276 Views
