I loved reading this book, it was so good that I have read this book twice!
Clearly a book (trilogy really) in Feist’s expanded universe that you should not miss as it helps explain texture and context in addition to it being a great yarn. Feist and Wurtz also get strong credit for a female lead that breaks the stereotypes.
This is a great book for a new world and it’s customs and political intrigue. Loved and will read it multiple times and every time I will learn something new about this world.
Fabulous read!
Very good book. Like learning about a new world and it’s culture.
Feist is a great aughor, he can spin a wonderful fantasy story in a world I love to visit. Its characters in all his books have a sense of humor and human touch to it.
Based on the Magician universe this is one of my favorite versions of the stories. The world building and the great characters has had me rereading this series several times. I highly recommend this!
One of my all time favorite series
