A fantastical tale of war between two nations across a rift in the fabric of the universe. At it's heart it is a tale of invasion from an eastern influenced and highly martial people. Told from both sides of the rift, this is a wonderful story where one is introduced to characters from the lowliest orphan boy and his best friend to the children of royalty. Experience the lives of these characters irrevocably change as Feist weaves his magic and creates a truly masterful fantasy epic. As strong a beginning to a fantasy series as you can get where the author introduces the reader to the Kingdom of the Isles and world of Midkemia.
A book that has been read multiple times with the sense of joy never diminishing. I already look forward to the next time that I read this book and reacquaint myself with Pug, Tomas, Arutha and Martin.
Can be read as a standalone should the reader so choose.
