Nicholas, crippled son of the Prince of the West and third in line to the throne, is learning to be a man at his uncle's frontier court in Crydee, when the town is sacked and prisoners taken to a nearby chain of pirate islands. What follows is a chase and a voyage much farther, to a land much rougher and with its own hostile politics. And just below the surface, pantathian serpent priests and their latest disgusting magic.
Not as good as its predecessor, [b:Prince of the Blood|13878|Prince of the Blood (Krondor's Sons, #1)|Raymond E. Feist|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388194833l/13878._SY75_.jpg|747434], but still another fun outing in Midkemia, and a nice set-up for the Serpentwar Saga. I didn't remember this one as well as I did Prince of the Blood, after my last read-through of Feist's books about 15 years ago, but Nakor remains one of the better characters in Midkemia.
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
lack of developed female characters, very very confusing parts, probably my least fav of his books
3.5 I liked Nicholas and I liked Harry and I loved reading the journey they went on and discovering new lands. An enjoyable and fun novel to read with, of course, a happy ending!

Another fun read from Feist. It started out a bit too YA for me, but then I got I latched on to the characters, and Feist them well.
The youngest Prince of Kondor is sent to his uncle's Dutchy to experience life away from Court, where things will not be so easy on him. Chaos ensues when the Dutchy is attacked by unknowns, and Prince Nicholas' cousin is kidnapped. Nicky and his Squire Harry set off with Admiral Amos across the great Seas to the other side of the world. Lots of action and a few new characters. Ticking off another series in the Feist Catalog.

This book was bloody brilliant a swashbuckling pirating adventure with some great companionship and friendships. The story was fast paced and entertaining. The main character nicholas starts off bumbling and unsure of himself and grows into a man over the course of the story. There was some interesting magic and discoveries that I thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend this book and I'm really glad I carried on with my feist reading.
Another amazing adventure, complicated plots & intrigues, great characterizations & world building...can't wait for the next in the series
I love the main story itself, but after Mistress of the Empire the female characters have been simplified mostly to just being beautiful, nagging and then undressing. Otherwise a good book suffers greatly from this.
Very nice and relatable story of how a rather shy and introvert boy grew to be a man.
