After reading the second half, I join those who are unanimous against the prestige of the work of Feist. This volume is a great fantasy, and even if not making Feist in the genre, (Tolkien all the credit, must say ...) it remains a classic not to be missed, with a well-crafted story full of twists, ideal for those who turn-off to the difficult passages of the Lord of the Rings. Indeed, writing Feist is very fluid and reads quite easily. Not really a great time readings, and that's it, nothing to say, if you like fantasy, read it absolutely!
