Slightly slower than the other books but still an epic story in this saga
I'm currently re-reading all of the Feist books and so far, it's awesome! I didn't remember much from this book (I only read it once ten years ago) so everything was like I read it for the first time.
Maybe it's a bit controversial, but I'm starting to prefer Feist over GRRM. Feist didn't make the mistake of trying to describe everything in one generation. You get the feeling that every book is just a small glimpse in a world in which a lot of going on, and every book offers a fresh perspective.
On the other hand, Pug's sudden appearances at the end of every book do have a bit of a 'deus ex machina' quality, and I'm still not really fond of the entire religion bashing thing. However, I used to think that Feist's books were a bit shallow or superficial and now I don't know anymore why I held that opinion. Each new character / book explores another part of the human condition and he gets quite introspective at times.
On to the next book!

Very much enjoyed Shadow of a Dark Queen as it's a combination of two of my favorite genres - high fantasy and military fiction. More the former than the latter, but the characters spend plenty of time in military situations. Good start to the Serpentwars series.
A little boring as I thought there was too much technical battle stuff, and I always find abook without a romance a little dry...
