Nothing spectacular, but not bad either. A peek into a mercenary’s life wrapped in a gently moving murder mystery set in Feist’s Midkemia.

Did not finish. The tone was to negative for my liking.
This is probably the weakest book in the entire series so far. The characters were indistinguishable and forgettable. The story was very slow to get started and the conclusion was rushed and unsatisfying.
Ever since finding a copy of Magician on audiobook, I have been on a mission to read this series in full but hopefully in chronological order; this is much easier said than done, though.
Legends Of The Riftwar is a 3 book series written with various others that just adds flavour to the original series.
I had a few problems with this story; pull up a seat and let me tell you why!
This novel follows three mercenaries who work together as a group; they get snowed in while on their latest mission and then fate conspires to see them become embroiled in city politics as the nobles vie for the Earldom or Dukedom.
Firstly, there are no known characters, other than the discussion between the Dukes in the prologue, so we get to figure out how this story actually fits into the main. Second, the title should have been something else instead since the Murder in question only happens near the end of the book although we have been expecting it since the beginning. Thirdly, I don't see the point of this story, at all.
That being said, I did enjoy the story even though I could have gone without reading it.

I usually treat myself to a Raymond E. Feist when I want fun, fast paced adventure. This book did not deliver. It is co-written, so sorry Joel Rosenburg, but I am blaming you since you are the only new thing in the equation here. It seems that the majority of the book was background with all the (minimal) action happening in the last few chapters. It was ok, but I read it every night to get through it rather than because I really wanted to pick it up again.
