you mean there are now THREE versions?? imlad Send a noteboard - 05/02/2010 05:45:51 AM
Because it was changed a bit for the editions that started being done after the 10th year or so. not sure exactly what changes were done (been a long time since I've read it) but I remember a forward to that edition by Feist talking about having rewritten parts of it.

What changed in later copies?


Certain details about the Baron of Land's End get changed in the Riftwar:Legacy book Jimmy The Hand so the new version of Prince of the Blood is retconned to reflect these.There isn't a huge amount of it but I just find it annoying.

And while Feist does iron out one or two things in the climax of the book, I don't think it's a big enough improvement over the original to recommend it.
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

I couldn't have said it better *NM* Nolan - 19/01/2010 03:31:38 PM 591 Views
A "comfort read". I like that description. Tashmere - 20/01/2010 03:14:53 AM 1245 Views
The Empire series is better than Feist by himself, IMO. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 07:55:30 AM 1354 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 1181 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 1225 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 1134 Views

May I ask... Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:25:19 PM 1237 Views
I think Feist's writing is superior to Jordan's. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 10:29:20 PM 1207 Views
Well, as I said, I'm having to base this on the Empire books... Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:56:27 PM 1192 Views
Jordan has written not one believable female. Not one. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 10:59:25 PM 1210 Views
I find the suggestion insulting. Jacob - 21/01/2010 06:13:03 PM 1173 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 1266 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 1181 Views
I imagine so, yeah. Legolas - 21/01/2010 07:45:45 PM 1209 Views
