You'll lose sleep with this one,
By Jerry "a sci-fi/fantasy lover" (Macon, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prince of the Blood (Mass Market Paperback)
If you don't want to lose sleep, than avoid this book. The story is quite engaging and will be hard to put down. Throughout, Feist conitues to entwine action with fantasy. Excellent.**A book I would also recommend is The Unsuspecting Mage by Brian S. Pratt. This, the first installment of The Morcyth Saga is a great beginning for a new author. Battles, magic, gods, secret passages and intrigue, all the elements of a classic epic fantasy! Any fantasy reader will enjoy it.

It will keep you guessing,
By Crissy Moss "Author and Artist" (Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prince of the Blood (Mass Market Paperback)
The king has no heir and the twin sons of Prince Arutha learn that they are next in line for the kingship, one to rule, and one to be in the shadows of the other at all times. On the heels of this discovery comes an attempted assassination, kidnapping, slavery, and palace intrigue on grand scales. Fiest will keep you guessing till the end. A well thought out book with good descriptions, and interesting settings.

I loved this book!,
By
This review is from: Prince of the Blood (Mass Market Paperback)
In this sequel to A Darkness at Sethanon, author Raymond Feist takes us back to his magical world of Midkemia. Arutha's sons, Borric and Erland, are growing up to be wild; given to drinking, gambling and wenching. However, Borric is destined to be King of the Isles, with Erland being a mere step away from the throne. And so, the boys are packed off to the Empire of Great Kesh, to represent the Kingdom at the Empress's Diamond Jubilee. However, there is a conspiracy at work in Kesh, and one of its goals is the death of Borric conDoin! The twins are going to have to grow up, and quick, if they are to stay alive!This book is a decided step away from the Elves and Wizards theme that dominated Mr. Feist's early works. Instead, this book places the (non-magical) main characters in a situation where they must use their wits and abilities to succeed - a theme that dominates the rest of his Midkemia books. Overall, I must say that I loved this book! I really enjoyed the exotic setting, with the author mixing in familiar Earth cultures in an entirely unfamiliar arrangement. Also, even though I do like wizard characters, I thought that Mr. Feist still did a good job of using magic as an integral part of the story, even if it is not the central part. So, I would say that I liked the setting, I liked the characters (a very nice selection of different sorts, but working together in an entirely believable way), and I liked the story. As a matter of fact, I would say that if this is not my favorite Midkemia story, it is one of my top 2! I really enjoyed this book, and highly recommend it to all fans of Fantasy literature!
