"My favorites under this author are surely the Riftwar Saga books, all four of them! But Feist has some issues with women..... he portrays them very poorly, or if they are strong and vital characters, he kills them off..... Something not right there even though I love the series! This book and the other Krondor Son's book that I've read just didn't grab me the way the first four did. They were absolutely fabulous!"
"Another excellent book by Feist, taking his audience 20 years into the future of the Kingdom after the Darkness of Sethanon. In Feist tradition we are given a very descriptive outlook on the Kingdom of Kesh to the south."
"You will notice that this book has a different style from the epics that Feist has produced (e.g. the Riftwar Saga). This one is meant for a lighter read, as evident in the humor and sometimes not-so-serious portions evident in the book. Surprisingly, it turned out to be rather fitting given the 2 protagonists - Erland and Boric, the twin sons of Prince Arutha of the Riftwar fan. The two are as you would expect of powerful and rich, yet well-meaning, nobles. I don't usually like such characters, but these two kind of grew on me partway through the book. Feist's incredible ability to give great character development is still ever present, with very interesting new characters; and not to forget that he introduces us to the Empire of the Great Kesh and brings yet another fantasy civilisation to life. Speaking of fantasy, the plot here is more mundane, even moreso than the Daughter of the Empire series. Some may this to be disappointing, but with the slower pace and the lighter tone, the book is still a very enjoyable read."
