the naïve, and uniquely gifted young person and the mysterious and powerful teacher who somehow manage to stumble across each others paths and, together, save the world in some way.
I generally find that, with Fantasy novels, there are always a few clichéd characters and situations e.g. This was a blessing and a curse – I really enjoyed learning about Pug’s beginnings and found it much easier to get to grips with all the characters but I also met a few characters in Magician that I know will, ultimately, die. This wasn’t actually my first Feist book I’d proofread the eBook of Shards of A Broken Crown for work a while back and have put the rest of Feist’s backlist on my TBR list since. As it turns out, said friend also happens to be an extremely quick reader so there was no chance in hell that I could catch up, but she did enjoy my ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ when they finally came about. As soon as I finished my book I started on it, determined to catch up to her as soon as possible… I started reading Magician whilst on holiday in Tanzania – why? My friend was also reading it and I couldn’t bear to listen to any more ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ of shock and understanding. Title: Magician (Book 1 of the Riftwar Saga) I was once an orphaned kitchen boy, with no family and no prospects, but I am destined to become a master magician…
I longed to train as a warrior and fight alongside our duke like my foster-brother, but when the time came, I was not offered that choice. War had come to the Kingdom of the Isles, and in the years that followed it would scatter my friends across the world. Synopsis: The world had changed even before I discovered the foreign ship wrecked on the shore below Crydee Castle, but it was the harbinger of the chaos and death that was coming to our door.
