 So I was a bit disappointed in this book. It was VERY slow starting. Now, this is somewhat to be expected with the first book in a trilogy, but by VERY slow… I mean a good 85% of the book was all character development. Not even exciting character development. Nope, the protagonist was getting trained, getting laid, and having pretty much no adventures along the way. And in all of that character development, the author never managed to make me identify with or really like his protagonist. I don’t DISLIKE him, but the whole character archetype just seemed a bit contrived and one dimensional to me (think SUPER assassin, ninja, philosopher, duelist - RaaRR!). The last few chapters were definitely good, and I have hope that the next few books will be pretty action packed. All that time spent in training has made the main character into one bad-ass force to be reckoned with, and he’s hell bent on a path towards revenge and intrigue. So I have high hopes for the next two books and will hopefully be posting glowing reviews here soon.

 Worth a read but I found it quite slow and there wasn't a whole lot in it besides the obvious build up to revenge. Still a decent read though and as always Im looking forward to the next book.

 Great book! Feist is one of my favorite authors and Talon, the main character in this book, is one of his best creations in my opinion. He ranks right up there with Pug, Erik and Nakor. If you're going to read his stuff start with the Riftwar series.

 An exciting start to the series. i just wish the character was a bit more human. He's too perfect, even when he's untrained he's a genius.
