[Cassandra_the_Prophetess]

He is the greatest fantasy author ever!

A Kings Buccaneer

The Serpentwar saga:
Shadow of a Dark Queen
Rise of a Merchant Pronce
Rage of a Demon King
Shards of a Broken Crown

The Empire Series:
Daughter of the Empire
Servant of the Empire
Mistress of the Empire

The Shadowleague:
Talon of the Silver Hawk
King of Foxes
Exiles Return

The Krondor Series:
Krondor: the Betrayal
Krondor: The Assassins
Krondor: Tear of the Gods

And:
Faerie Tale

Magician is my favourite!  

[FaeDreamer]

Ahhh, I knew I recognized the name, I played Betrayal in Antara (a game based on his books) when I had the chicken pox....lol blaugh lol

Haven't actually read any of his stuff yet, I'll have to check it out!  

[Cassandra_the_Prophetess]

Haha kool, you shall have to! I know that theres a game called Krondor: The Betrayal, but i've never played it. Never heard of Antara though....  

[FaeDreamer]

Antara's the first game and Krondor's the second if I remember correctly. It's been years since I've played so I don't remember very well... neutral  

[Cassandra_the_Prophetess]

Ah OK, that makes sense! Ah well the books are fantastic anyway!  

[Rylash]

I've only read 'The Magician'.. it was quite fantastic though!
I've also got 'FairyTale' but I havn't had time to read it yet..  

[Cassandra_the_Prophetess]

Magician is by far his best! Faerie Tale is very dark, more of a modern fantasy.

there's more to The Riftwar Saga!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? my dad only owns the first 3!!!!! *grrr* must remedy this situation... and then read them... i loved those books!!!! i've been thinking about re-reading them recently and now i probably will so i can discuss  

[Cassandra_the_Prophetess]

Oh my goodness! Yes, yes, yes! In fact, most of his books continue on from the Riftwar! They are about the concecutive generations, ie: Decendants of Arutha, Jimmy, Pug, Tomas, etc.

EG: The Empire Series takes place DURING the Riftwar, except on Kelewan, the Serpentwar Saga comes next, followed by Conclave of Shadows (this is about 100 years after Magician). I also heard that following on from there will be a new trilogy called the Darkwar Saga, to be published in the near future.

I did enjoy Feist's books, though I only have the first Riftwar trilogy. Some of his characters really annoyed me...like the elf queen...but there were enough cool characters to make up for her (Jimmy the Hand! heart ) and he had some really awesome ideas.

Aw! what was wrong with her? I guess she was a bit snobby, but Tomas put her in her place, haha. Anyway, Jimmy was great, a bit of comic relief i thought.

I think the part about her getting pregnant with Tomas really miffed me. In my opinion, Elf Queens should have a little more dignity than that. She was really the only one in that trilogy that I just couldn't stand, though.
heart Jimmy the Hand.

I've only read Magician, Apprentice, Silverthorn and Darkness of (I forgot the last word..it's been too long since I've read it)


Actually Fiest was the one who got me hooked on elves....*grins*
