"Liked this book better than the first one--more magic and he developed the story better to where it made better sense. Didn't like the flat female characters and the life-style choices of some of the characters (I don't know why I take it so personally, but I guess I really feel a need for my fiction books to agree with my moral perspective). Lots of adventure. I'd probably categorize it as a "man's book" if I had to choose a sex for it."
"One of my favorites. It is not often that an author will take a character and grant them huge power and still write about them. Pug and Tomas each grow beyond the scope that characters are usually allowed to reach in a series of books. In the Riftwar Saga, the focus does shift from these two fellows and tends to follow events of the world. They are however always there and remarkably still growing. It all begins in Magician: Apprentice and Magician: Master (Originally published one volume, I do believe.)
A side-note: This book could be suitably read to younger children. It does have a bit of a montage edge to it, seemingly always skipping to the 'good bits'. Additionally, there is a fair degree of violence, but it is not written of in an exceptionally graphic nature. Also, unlike much modern fantasy, it does not spend too much time dwelling on the sexuality of the characters (Next to none)."
"Read Apprentice and Master in one (didn't actually know they were to separate books). Read it a few years ago and for the first time ever I re-read a book and actually enjoyed it more this time round."
