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.

The author has a wonderful sense of humor, and it this perfect blend of sarcasm, parody, wit, and action that makes this a perfect read for teenagers, and a great read for adults too. A remarkable fact about this book is that it is writtn by a 12 year old, and yet is not immature, and while not perfectly written, it is not poorly written either. Definetly worth a read.

The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches had me hooked into the story from the very beginning, drawing me deeper into the story through intense action,lush details and narration, and his great characters. Surely not a book to be missed, I highly reccomend it. On a side note, you get the best effect out of the books if you read the whole series. They get even better as they go on.
