Man, it's been a few years since I read Magician. I'm eager to find out how they adapt it, what they leave in/out.My favorite book of his is Rise of a Merchant Prince. Rupert Avery really gets put through some stuff. The Serpent War Saga was the best.
I agree, Richard! Numerous characters to delight us hopefully. And while I loved the Riftwar books, the Serpent War is my fave, with Rupert and Erik. I was reading that during the time in life I was creating my online persona and I've been Howard von Darkmoor ever since 😎

This is absolutely epic fantasy. So it isn't surprising that you may not have heard of it Jack.After the Serpent War Saga, Feist perfected the art of 900ish page trilogy. This made me feel like the books were mass produced for mass consumption. Terry Brooks has done the same thing with his later Shannara series. Like they have both perfected their writing styles to keep giving you your fix without giving you much substance.
At least Feist finally ended his series with Magician's End, a title I have yet to read because of the reason I have mentioned above.
Terry Brooks is still hard at it with the newest descendant or whathisface or soandso's cousin. It's gotta be lucrative...
Not S&S, you're safe 👍Instead of Brooks and Jordan I read Feist - and I truly believe I came out ahead (that's the group he belongs in). A number of fun and great characters with one somewhat underserved secondary character that would so be awesome to read at least a novel about.
