In the first are those books that are part of the epic series that refer to the great war events that have affected the fates of the world. I have the impression that the books of the Riftwar cycle can be divided into two categories. But you know what? I have no problems with it. It's a collaboration with the game-makers.

Yes, the central story is actually written around the main plot of the game. :) And it really can't go wrong when we dive into so many cool new elements.

I really loved the progression and the wealth of new-and-old worldbuilding.

Not back to a young middle-aged Jimmy the Hand and barely gray Pug with Prince Arutha still in his prime.īut, hell, okay! Cool! Side-story time! Big side-story time with all my favorite characters back in their prime and a slew of new, weaker peeps finding their own way.

What was I expecting? Well, after the last four-book epic taking place 50 years after the first Riftwar, full of its own troubles, I half-expected something pushing the timeline forward. Is this a game advert or is it more its own thing? Either way, the game was a hit in the nineties and may be rather hard to find nowadays. I mean, any book that starts referring to its video game companion but still firmly in the author's Riftwar bibliography could kinda go either way. Side note: This book is based on the 1993 DOS based computer game Betrayal at Krondor If you are into the Riftwar and wonder if you should keep reading, I think it stays great, so keep on reading! With this book, it is back in full force! And, yes, there is a lot of Pug! One complaint I have seen about this series is that the amount of magic and wizardry drops off after the Riftwar. One big thing that I think will make a lot of people happy is that this book has a ton of magic. So, it will be interesting to see what they do with the next book. On the cover, it mentions it is book one of a series, but there really isn't a cliffhanger and everything is wrapped up nicely. However, after about 100 pages or so, it started to flow pretty easy and it kept going to a bang up finish. Jumping back in time, reaquainting myself with the characters, and trying too remember what happened in the story line (and what was yet to happen) was a bit tough. I have seen a list with the books chronologically, but I feel like if this is the order Feist wrote them in, it's the order I should read them in.

After progressing the timeline through the Serpentwar Saga, there is a break in the action where we return to post Riftwar Mikidmia and revisit some of our favorite characters, meet some new ones, and go on some adventures that take place to fill in the gaps between other books in the series. It chronicles the powerful awakening of Owyn - apprentice magician of untried strengths - and celebrates the selfless achievements of Pug, the great sorcerer of two worlds. It tells of mysterious deaths and sinister machinations - and signs of a time when the fate of many civilizations rested in the able, unfaltering hands of RiftWar veterans Squire Locklear and cunning their-turned-squire Jimmy the Hand.
