Return to a world of magic and adventure from best selling author Raymond E. Feist. This bundle includes the complete Riftwar Legacy. The bundle The Betrayal (1), The Assassins (2), Tear of the Gods (3) and the new novella Jimmy and the Crawler.
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.
My fav after Tolkien, RF books invite you in and you don't want to leave. Watching Jimmy going from the street to the Palace. That's just one example of a character, who you get to know and do not want to say goodbye to.
Perhaps to be expected for a story developed based on a video game, there is reasonable action and enough, if somewhat predictable plot, but very little character development. I missed the depth of earlier stories, but still pleasant entertainment.
