World building. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 18/01/2010 05:16:21 PM
Do you think Feist did a good job of world building?

Which world do you think is the more fully realised?

Would you like to live in either of the worlds in this book?

No, that sounds right. Legolas - 19/01/2010 12:16:58 AM 1154 Views
Shodow of a Dark Queen was a very very good book AgentOrange - 19/01/2010 09:00:47 AM 1112 Views

there is a reason for that imlad - 27/01/2010 06:13:08 PM 1049 Views
Doh! I had completely forgotten that. Myrdhyn - 27/01/2010 07:28:08 PM 1176 Views

Is the book too long? Rebekah - 18/01/2010 05:20:54 PM 1138 Views
I would be curious to see the original version too. Tashmere - 18/01/2010 11:55:06 PM 1070 Views

Magician is one of my favourite fantasy books. Rebekah - 18/01/2010 05:27:02 PM 1258 Views
I couldn't have said it better *NM* Nolan - 19/01/2010 03:31:38 PM 507 Views
A "comfort read". I like that description. Tashmere - 20/01/2010 03:14:53 AM 1098 Views
The Empire series is better than Feist by himself, IMO. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 07:55:30 AM 1188 Views
Hmm. Maybe I will give it another shot. Craig was just trying to talk me into that yesterday. Tashmere - 20/01/2010 12:29:25 PM 1041 Views
in that case, you should be wary of the most beautifully written fantasy series of all time imlad - 27/01/2010 06:32:07 PM 1079 Views
Oh, I loved that series! At least after the first hundred pages or so. That didn't qualify as dark Tashmere - 31/01/2010 07:58:08 PM 973 Views
first time i read Servant of the Empire imlad - 27/01/2010 06:19:42 PM 1056 Views

I think that my husband made a good choice when he used it to help hook and reel me into fantasy. Tashmere - 18/01/2010 11:58:00 PM 1129 Views
It is a very good introduction into the fantasy genre... and a fun read. *NM* Jacob - 19/01/2010 03:26:34 PM 482 Views
Is it, though? Nebhead - 20/01/2010 06:32:19 PM 1242 Views
If not Magician, then what? Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 07:50:35 PM 1145 Views
How is WoT weighty in comparison to Magician? Jacob - 20/01/2010 08:22:05 PM 1043 Views
Re: How is WoT weighty in comparison to Magician? Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 08:45:48 PM 1170 Views
Absolutely. Jacob - 20/01/2010 08:19:19 PM 1109 Views
May I ask... Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:25:19 PM 1085 Views
I think Feist's writing is superior to Jordan's. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 10:29:20 PM 1049 Views
Well, as I said, I'm having to base this on the Empire books... Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:56:27 PM 1036 Views
Jordan has written not one believable female. Not one. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 10:59:25 PM 1058 Views
I find the suggestion insulting. Jacob - 21/01/2010 06:13:03 PM 1023 Views
I meant no offense. Legolas - 21/01/2010 08:05:08 PM 1179 Views

I've reread the original Riftwar books and the Empire series multiple time imlad - 27/01/2010 06:29:27 PM 1119 Views
yeah, much better intro to fantasy then say David Eddings ** shudders ** *NM* imlad - 27/01/2010 06:22:51 PM 473 Views

Aye, so do I. Rebekah - 20/01/2010 08:57:29 PM 1122 Views
Re: Aye, so do I. Myrdhyn - 20/01/2010 09:02:03 PM 1020 Views
Agreed - people who first read him as adults are probably going to find him boring and repetitive. Legolas - 20/01/2010 10:19:05 PM 1122 Views
I'm pretty sure that that criticism can be levelled at many 'popular' genre writers/series. Jacob - 21/01/2010 06:19:11 PM 1031 Views
I imagine so, yeah. Legolas - 21/01/2010 07:45:45 PM 1061 Views
