What Risingshadow readers think about this book

10 / 10

In Magician Raymond Feist cleverly mixes a medieval world with a world reminiscent of Ancient China. As one of the first Fantasy genre books I read this book hooked me into the genre and from this book i started seeking out of similar stories.

I found it to be an utterly mesmirising read. The action never lets up, the individual stories of Pug and Tomas held my attention equally (although I like Tomas' hero journey). It's a big big book, but we should be use to that.

I completely enjoyed the book and would recommend it to others. To this day i still think it is an unsung hero of the genre.

8 / 10

Raymond E. Feist's Magician is the first book of The Riftwar Saga.

I enjoyed reading Magician. Magician is a good and very entertaining fantasy book. I can recommend it to everybody, who likes good fantasy.

By the way, if you buy the US paperback version of Magician, you must buy two books (Magician: Apprentice and Magician: Master). I think that the UK version hasn't been split into two books.
