Synopsis
Raymond E. Feist's classic fantasy epic, Magician, has enchanted readers for over twenty years. The revised edition was prepared to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its publication, and incorporates over 15,000 words of text omitted from previous editions. At Crydee, a frontier outpost in the tranquil Kingdom of the Isles, an orphan boy, Pug, is apprenticed to a master magician -- and the destinies of two worlds are changed forever. Suddenly the peace of the Kingdom is destroyed as mysterious alien invaders swarm the land. Pug is swept up into the conflict but for him and his warrior friend, Tomas, an odyssey into the unknown has only just begun. Tomas will inherit a legacy of savage power from an ancient civilization. Pug's destiny is to lead him through a rift in the fabric of space and time to the mastery of the unimaginable powers of a strange new magic.
Review
Magician is the very first book in the Rift War series and I fell in love with it from the first page. I found myself caught up with the adventures of Pug and Thomas and the roles they would play in trying to save their world and Crydee from invaders from an alien world.
For me the book was well written with lots of high adventure and I felt for each character. I also found it quite expansive with quite a lightness in the crafting of the story.
I highly recommend this book to start with if you have never read Fantasy before. You can hear the author Raymond E. Feist chat about his books here.
