Raymond Feist revisited this book in later life and expanded some of the details and this was my first reading of the extended version (my original copy is that old skool cover over there!).
One dreams of being a great warrior and marrying the beautiful elf queen, the other (an orphan) dreams of having the power to rise above his station. The first book in the series is a great entry point and tells the tale of 2 young boys growing up in a rustic castle by the coast. I’ve revisited the first (and for me, still the best) trilogy this year to see if it’s still as good as I remember.
It’s a richly detailed fantasy epic comprising inter-related shorter series and actually came to a conclusion in Magician’s End many years after the first books. Going to try and make up for that now by reviewing my trip back to Midkemia! Raymond Feist’s fantasy world, based on the D&D game he and friends played, is always a solid read. It’s been a strange year, I actually started it reading at pace but then lost my inspiration for writing about what I’d read.
