I was genuinely blown away by this book. One of the most enjoyable and gripping novels I have ever read. And I don't say that lightly.
Unforgettable characters, a great plot, and countless scenes which had my jumping up and down in excitement. Superb stuff.

I think this must be my 5th time I am reading this and I love it more each time.
This book is a truly great read. What a wonderful world to experience.

aside from the fact feist cant write characters, this book is groundbreaking and the world-building is what keeps you hooked the whole way through. but literally considering i read the revised version and the ending was not at all different, where pug just totally lacked reaction to the death of his best friend? and then fainted

Dnf at p.554. There's less magic than I hoped and it's very spread out telling stories from different parts of the war and hopping about.
I'm still waiting for the magician to get his shit together, I imagine he'll step in at the last minute but I'm done so I'll never know.
Enjoyed what I've read but it's not enough to carry me to the end.

Though this is considered a fantasy classic, this book didn't leave much of a good impression on me. Feist knows how to write, that's certain, and he knows how to write on a grand scale.
That said, I didn't think there was enough depth. There was breadth, certainly, but the characters themselves received too little attention. Their reactions to large events and interpersonal interactions felt stale, clunky and artificial. There was one particular reunion that I hung on for, which stopped me from putting it down, but when the time came that too was a massive disappointment.
