I think the main reason they were selling this book cheap was because of the gazillion TYPOS. (And this is the stuff that turns people of self-pubbed books).
Other than that, it was a pretty okay read.

This was a good fantasy in the Riftwar series. I liked how the characters Nicholas, Harry, Brisa and Anthony became more confident and sure of themselves. I also liked how they and their friends faced the many challenges in their path.

I found this novel much more enjoyable than the previous novel in the sons of Kondor series. when reading that book, the one minor character who interested me was Nicholas, so I was really glad to see that he was the main character of this novel. I was also really glad to see the return of other characters such as Amos Trask and Nakor. Though the plot was really interesting especially the serpent creatures gradually morphing into copies of people from Crydee. A very Caerphilly twist which I think could have Bern played on more. Was expecting more cases of mistaken identity rather than the counterfeits being very quickly identified. Overall an enjoyable novel which has made me eager to read the next.
Buccaneer is, in a nutshell, a pirate adventure in Feist style. Which isn't a bad thing, it's a great idea to shake things up a bit without abandoning your world and story. I loved this book a lot more than the last one, where I found Borric and Erland annoying, I quite liked their brother Valentine. The new characters are great and the old ones deliver. We get a good helping of Emus Trask in this one and that always goes down well. Like it's predecessor it seems on the surface a light hearted adventure, but at times it will make you suffer some heavy blows. What's really great is that book has a good pace, something Feist struggled with in the past in my opinion, this one I could not put down. There isn't all that much good romance to be found, so that was a bit of a letdown for me but it doesn't hinder the story one bit. A great book, highly recommended for any Feist fan!

I read this quite some time ago and know I thoroughly enjoyed it, but not sure to what degree. Enough, I know, to continue on with Feist's many books. It's probably somewhere around 3.5-4 stars.
