Murder in LaMut by Raymond E. Feist

1.0

I've been a fan of Feist for most of my life. To the point that I forced myself to read through this revolting piece of drivel that I can't imagine he had much hands on beyond the story. These characters we follow are scum, and they know it. The reader doesn't become invested in anyone except for one, possibly two, side characters. And a certain critter that adores attention...

The story was ponderous and predictable on pretty much every page. Characters do stupid things and make really stupid choices. I mean really stupid choices. And does it work out in the end? Well... we don't really know. The book ends abruptly, at a an event that was being awaited until then. But still, it feels like it should have continued on for a little longer, that there were too many threads left dangling.

I do not recommend this book for anyone except for die hard Feist fans, those who are completionist, and have to read the entire Riftwar Cycle. And even those of you: be warned, this is quite possibly the worst book in the entire Cycle.


And I'll refrain from letting my inner SJW talk about some shit I was offended to read, because I'm not a dick. That's so no Raymond E Feist's style, not this sort.
