Magician by Raymond E. Feist

I consider this book epic is scope. Many years ago I got a hold of his and Jany Wursts' Daughter, Servant and Mistress of the Empire, and I have been meaning to buy other related books for a long while. Aside from it being one of Britain's 100 books you have to read before you die (that speaks for itself to some extent), I found to be truly masterfully written both in how the pace of the books slowly picks up and the rate of increase also increases as the pages fly by. True enough, the book further fascinated me because I've read all about the Tsurannuani but had little to go on about Midkemia. Pug and Tomas' histories were truly awsome to read.

I have, of course, been very busy what with my University course taking a big chunk of my time, but I am very happy that the first non-Physics book I've read in the last month is not a disappointment smile.gif.

I recommend this book to ANY medieval fantasy fiction lovers out there smile.gif.

I too would consider myself a 'Wheel of Time' addict, and I can say this from the point of view of a medieval fantasy fiction lover who has read both Raymond E. Feist's and Robert Jordan's work: they are both great! What truly sets them both apart is the fact that the authors have spent a lot of their literary work cerating a multi-layered and plausible universe which gives rise to worlds with in-depth and well thought-out cultures and peoples. Not only that, the plots are so well inter-woven and inter-connected that sometimes you have to wonder: did they just make this out as they went along through the decades of writing the books, or did they already have such a well thought-out plan before they even started?
