Magician - Feist

[doh_boy]

Right I like this book, so far. I'm around page 350. What's troubling me is the book seems to lapse into 'teenage angsty romance novel' every so often. It really off-putting. One minute it's all fantasy, elves and stuff the next 'they were in that special place where no bad feeling could touch them'. it just seems to come out of nowhere? :s

Its a bit 'teenage/young-person fantasy novel'.

ah so it's not the writer going mad.

Heh, I love the Magician trilogy. Superb read.

It passes once you get further along.

really? Coz now the elf queen is at it. :/

I like the fact that macros is back in it, I was kinda wondering where he'd be when he appeared.

I love threads like this... cos they make me wanna get the books back out of the cupboard and read them again.

Feist is good

There's a lot of Romantic Stuff in the forst 2 novels, probably to get it published, and when he became established, he could do whatever he liked.

Personally, I love Magician and the 2 follow ups simply because Jimmy The Hand is in it

excellent book.


the end 200 pages really kicks off

aye it's fun and you meet jimmy the hand (he's an ok character and I think he's the upright man but hey I might be wrong) and he's in love with princess bird! Then arutha falls for her. As for the story it's very good and I do feel feists' strength is his depiction of relationships and conversation. Still enjoying it anyway. I'm around page 500 so the last 200 pages are just starting.

i'm still not sure whether I like the serpentwar or riftwar the best

Individually, they weren't as good as magician, but overall, the story was better

on a side note, I've actually read King of Foxes, his latest Midkemia novel, and it's pretty good stuff, if a little short.
