Excellent Middle of a Trilogy
I appreciated how Feist took us on a plot journey here that was darker than the first book, bordering on the grimdark. At the same time, due to the magic this world allows, all was not lost - and you sort of expect that. I was entertained!

I have been Buddy-Reading this series over the last couple of months with a ‘book-club’ friend who had not read Raymond E. Feist’s work before. As I have been a long-time fan of his work, I have compared it to The Lord of the Rings books but have actually enjoyed this series more. When I mentioned this to my friend, she immediately wanted to read the series, and convinced me to read them with her- not that it was a big ask 😊.
It is an epic fantasy saga- with wonderful world building and scene setting, and dynamic, vivid and detailed descriptions that will transport you right into the story.
Take some time to explore Mr. Feist’s work, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed- and the best part is that all the books are available now to read- no waiting for books to be released! #WINNING

Worse than the first one in almost every way. Truly just threw a bunch of plot points at the wall, then refused to let any of them carry any dramatic stakes. Also, wraps up the the protagonists arc in the least sophisticated way possible over the course of about two pages, then the book ends.

Reading this book, I seriously questioned whether Feist had just given up or not.
