Great book, Though I just read "Magician" which i believe is both this book and it's prequel - why they've been split i don't know, as it kinda makes the trilogy a trilogy in four parts - kinda like Hitchhikers, anyway enough of this! Great book, massive scope to the story and the way it all evolves is brilliant. One of the things i like about it is the growth throughout, Pug loves his home, but due to everything grows apart from it, and finds that he struggles to go back to it once he can, because his responsibilities are too great. Just a little idea, but one which I loved - It does appear in Harry Potter, but personally i think it's much more eloquently put. Also the writing style throughout the book - even the trilogy - is easy to read continually and helps you through what could be an arduous read. Reccomended for those who like Harry Potter, but want to have a look at something just a little bit darker with a much grander scope.   hide

I feel that Feist is a literary genius. He works wonders with anything he touches. I'm going to write everything here because this is basically the second half of the first book. I really love his style and the way he works with the characters. Unlike many other series I've read, Feist is able to weave characters both in and out of any of his series with relative ease, he gives himself a large enough timetable to work with that it's not always the same story, but there's something familiar for those who've read his previous work before. Great, must read, anything by Feist.   hide

I have read every book that Feist has brought out and they have got better and better.... Pug has appeared in nearly every book and you know it started with him and will end with him when feist decides to end but at the moment i hope he keeps bringing them out because there are so few sci fi/Fantasy writers that can keep it up for so long. Magician is a must read for all sci fi/Fantasy fans out there.   hide

"Magician" is by far one of my favourite fantasy books ever. Stories of 2 boys who started out like every other boy, but grew to be heroes. I never get sick of re-reading this. Raymond Feist has continued to write their stories, but I must say, Silverthorn and Darkess at Sethanon are the close second best... the rest are nice reads (to see what everyone gets up to), but its sad to read about your favourite characters dying of old age and other wars.   hide

If you don't want to read mega lengthy fantasy series, Magician is definitely a good beginning point. It is very engaging and entertaining, all the ingredient of a top class fantasy, with the ease that you can read it as a single volume - that's what I did. I like it so much that I have already recommended this book to many of my friends. Enjoy.    hide
