Product Description

Review

"Totally gripping ... . A fantasy of epic scope, fast-moving action and vivid imagination." -- The Washington Post Book World.

"Most exciting ... a very worthy and absorbing addition to the fantasy field." -- Andre Norton


Product Description

To the forest on the shore of the Kingdom of the Isles, the orphan Pug came to study with the master magician Kulgan. But though his courage won him a place at court and the heart of a lovely Princess, he was ill at ease with the normal ways of wizardry. Yet Pug's strange sort of magic would one day change forever the fates of two worlds. For dark beings from another world had opened a rift in the fabric of spacetime to being again the age-old battle between the forces of Order and Chaos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply amazing, Jul 16 2007
Feist is one of the best fantasy authors I have ever read. This book is powerfully entertaining, and will keep you in its grip until the end. The plot is absolutely fabulous,and the entire series is well worth the read. Don't miss it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Epic fantasy, Jul 31 2006
By Ms. H. Sinton "dragondrums" (Ingleby Barwick. U.K.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Magician is the first book in Raymond E Feist's epic Riftwar series. Set primarily on the world of Midkemia, a medieval, rural type world, the story centres on two boys, Pug and Tomas. Pug's ambition is to be a magician whilst Tomas wants only to become a soldier. All is going well in their lives until war erupts, changing the boys' lives forever. The twist in this tale is that the invaders are from another world, a place called Telewan that is medieval Chinese in style, populated by a harsh and cruel race. They have discovered a rift in space/time that allows them to cross to Midkemia where they cause havoc, murdering and enslaving the Midkemians. Naturally, as with all fantasy books, the two youngsters are, in their differing way, to become heroes and to save the day. One criticism could be that there is not much detail given regarding Telewan but Feist (along with Janny Wurts) has brought out the Empire trilogy which is a series set on that world. For anyone wanting that extra information, they will find those books a real treat.
This book seems (judging by previous reviews) to be one that you will either love or hate. Many have tried to compare it to Tolkein whilst others belittle that view. It certainly isn't Tolkein, but is an original and interesting book in its own right. Sure, many of the staples of fantasy are there such as elves and dwarfs, swords and sorcery etc. but there is enough originality in this book to make it a very worthwhile read.
This is a big book to read (in the USA / Canada it has now been split into two volumes) but don't let that put you off, it's not so heavyweight that it becomes a chore to read, nor so lightweight it becomes boring. It's certainly worth the time of any lover of fantasy fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, really enjoyable, Feb 11 2006
By Rylin "Rylin" (Edmonds, Wa) - See all my reviews
Feist is a world class author, I've been enjoying his works for years now. Just reread this after so many years and can see how he's evolved over the years. This is a good, solid read, for anyone who enjoys Magic, War and the underdog coming out ahead. I would also reccommend The Unsuspecting Mage by Brian S. Pratt. Just read that one too and it's an outstanding beginning from a new author.
To someone who's new to Feist, all I can say is, start here and don't stop until you get to the end. Each should be read in it's proper order or you'll be scratching your head at some of the things the characters say that is assumed you know in later books.

Reading Magician took a lot out of me. I could only read it in 50 page bursts. There are so many threads to the plot that are woven, unraveled and rewoven together. Read more
