The world of Raymond E. Feist is brought to stunning life in this illustrated deluxe compendium, complete with maps, character drawings, and first-person narrative text by the master of fantasy fiction. Part travel log/journal and part atlas, Midkemia: The Chronicles of Pug brings the fictional world of Midkemia to vivid, illustrative life, and gives readers a completely new look at the creative genius of Raymond E. Feist. Written in first-person—a first for veteran bestseller Raymond Feist—the book details the life and times of Pug of Stardock, the hero of Feist’s The Chaoswar Trilogy. Beautiful hand-drawn maps illustrate the changes in Midkemia’s geography as war ravages the land and physically alters the landscape; dedicated readers and fans can literally trace the changes made by each battle. Complete with thirty pieces of specially commissioned artwork, this book is a totally immersive look into the world of Midkemia as never experienced before.

You'd expect this to be a summary of all the books but it's not quite. It really is written from the point of view of Pug (with Marcus popping in here and there), and this aspect was done well. It does recount all the tales of Midkemia, but it doesn't really go into details except as introspection or retrospection. A nice touch is that the details and fluidity of the journal format sort of reflects what Pug is supposed to be going through emotionally and time-wise. If you've been reading these tales (I actually haven't read the last series yet, so there were some spoilers here), then this is a nice nostalgic recap.
