Advantages: Captivating, Stimulates you imagination
Disadvantages: Not for everyone
If you're new to fantasy novels, or haven't tried on before and want to, then Magician may just be what you're looking for.
The book covers the events that occur on a planet called Midkemia and the war that occurs when a magical rift opens up to another planet.
It's a perfect introduction to elves, dwarves, warriors, magicians, sorcerors, kings and princes. The action never stops throughout the book and keeps you going, always wanting to know what happens next. I'm not a fast reader, but I finished this one in a week because I couldn't stop.
The great thing about the book is that it causes the reader to relate to the different characters and feel their emotions!! Sounds a bit soppy, but not all the emotions are about love!!
If you finish the book and find that you haven't got enough information, the series carries on to tell of later events. There are about 11 books that I can count off the top of my head, with a couple of spin offs. If you don't like the Magician, then don't read the rest!!

- 19/05/01 I would say that this is an okay book to start off reading Fantasy. Probably the best ones would be the Dragonlance seires - try Margret Weis and Tracy Hickmans 'Dragons of Autumn Twilight'. Excellent books. That said Feist is one of the best fantasy writers of all time- if you like him your sure to like Robert Jordans 'Wheel of Time' epics. Cheers, Saul.

- 18/05/01 Sorry for the low rating, but to make a decsion on whether or not to read this book, I would need much more info, such as writing style, a bit more on the plot, what is the driving message of the book etc. |
