Honoured Enemy / Murder in Lamut / Jimmy the Hand

Legends of the Riftwar #1-3

by Raymond E. Feist

Return to a world of magic and adventure from best selling author Raymond E. Feist. This bundle includes the complete Legends of the Riftwar Trilogy.

The bundle includes: Honoured Enemy, Murder in Lamut, Jimmy the Hand.

The Legends of the Riftwar bundle includes co-authored works by Raymond E. Feist, William R. Forstchen, Joel Rosenburg and Steve Stirling.

Honoured Enemy follows the story of a crack band of Kingdom raiders designed to infiltrate and fight behind enemy lines. When they unwittingly head to a frontier garrison at the same time as a Tsurani patrol does. When they arrive, both sides are confronted with a mass of migrating Moredhel.

The only problem is, who do they hate the most – their mutal enemy, or each other?

Murder in LaMut follows the story of three mercenaries who have spent twenty years fighting other people’s battles. The prospect of a few months garrison duty offers a welcome respite; but at the last moment they are given an assignment that seems like cushy work – to protect a lady and her husband and deliver them safely to LaMut.

It should have all been so simple…

Jimmy the Hand follows the story of the enigmatic boy thief of Krondor. Fearing reprisal after helping Prince Arutha and Princess Anita escape the Duke of Bas-Tyra’s secret police, Jimmy flees the city and ventures north to the relative safety of Sarth. However, Jimmy is ill-prepared for what greets him…

For Sarth is home to a dangerous, unknown presence, hidden even from the local thieves and smugglers…

About the author

Raymond E. Feist was born Raymond E. Gonzales III, but took his adoptive step-father's surname when his mother remarried Felix E. Feist. He graduated with a B.A. in Communication Arts with Honors in 1977 from the University of California at San Diego. During that year Feist had some ideas for a novel about a boy who would be a magician. He wrote the novel two years later, and it was published in 1982 by Doubleday. Feist currently lives in San Diego with his children, where he collects fine wine, DVDs, and books on a variety of topics of personal interest: wine, biographies, history, and, especially, the history of American Professional Football.

4,5 ⭐

Като цяло само първата и последната история бяха интересни. Втората не ми хареса особено. Беше малко скучна.

A well-written collection

Three tales written in collaboration with other established authors, sometimes transposing their characters into Midkemia. All three are side stories during the Riftwar. I found them very enjoyable, and I am slightly annoyed at myself for not taking them in many years ago. Highly recommended, and can be read as stand alone stories

Interesting back story for Jimmy the Hand.

(FYI I tend to only review one book per series, unless I completely change my mind on a series, so want to change my scoring down a lot. -- I tend not to read reviews until after I read a book, so I go in with an open mind.)

4.75*

Finally getting around to actually saying something to go with 5 star ratings!

First time read the author's work?: No

Will you be reading more?: Yes

Would you recommend?: Yes


------------
How I rate Stars: 5* = I loved (must read all I can find by the author)
4* = I really enjoyed (got to read all the series and try other books by the author).
3* = I enjoyed (I will continue to read the series)
or
3* = Good book just not my thing (I realised I don't like the genre or picked up a kids book to review in error.)

All of the above scores means I would recommend them!
-
2* = it was okay (I might give the next book in the series a try, to see if that was better IMHO.)
1* = Disliked

Note: adding these basic 'reviews' after finding out that some people see the stars differently than I do - hoping this clarifies how I feel about the book. :-)
