Partway through. From the author of the Midkemia books but set on the world of Garn. Prologue opens with the carnage of war and I found it hard to read. It's told (in 3rd person) from baron Daylon‘s PoV - he will do the wrong thing for what he thinks is the right reason.
The book itself focuses on 4 teens in alternating chapters, about 15 years later.

humouress Could have used tighter editing (including basics like spelling etc). I'm finding that some information tends to be repeated; eg we‘re told more than once that someone notices that buildings nearer forts must be older because their builders would have wanted its protection.Generally, the writing doesn't feel as mature as it should from someone of Feist‘s experience. (edited) 9mo
humouress Small issues: often extraneous description is thrown in which doesn't seem to add anything. Each chapter follows a different character without indication in the chapter heading. You can work it out within a couple of sentences but it‘s still a bit disorienting. Okay but not gripping. Has a flavour of tales of Ancient Greece (edited) 9mo

Totally hooked. This is book 1 in the Firemane saga. I received an ARC of the 3rd book (hate when I do that) and had to start from the beginning. And I also got a coworker hooked on it. It's fantasy because world building but it's not really too hard core. And I actually took it up to bed last night because sleep is overrated. On to book 2...

I just finished listening to the audio of King of Ashes. It was fantastic. I've never read Feist before but the details he puts into his story is amazing. An orphaned king, a land of assassins, swords, evil mermaids; I can't waite for book 2 ⚔

Leniverse In my late teens I was so addicted to his Riftwar Saga! And the subsequent Serpent War saga. But my absolute favourite is a trilogy he co-wrote with Jenny Wurst. Highly recommended. Starts with 6y
BookwormAHN @Leniverse Thanks for the recommendation I'll check it out 😺 6y

#BookMail Pt2 is the new Feist book, which is also signed! I used to have most of his books but a lot were “misplaced” (stolen) over the last 30yrs. I‘m not sure if I‘m going to rebuy them or make do with what I have left. I do like these new covers though. #ohgodnotanotherobsession #isithoardingifitsbooks

Upgraded from the #kindlepaperwhite (which was great to be honest), I got this as it has #audible integrated. Update to follow #kindleoasis. Anyone else got one? #fantasy #epicfantasy

Cathythoughts Yes I have the Oasis only sinse last month & I love it. Enjoy !!! 6y
dariazeoli I‘ve had mine about a month and I like it! I keep it at home and take my Paperwhite with me. Enjoy! 6y
Kaye You guys are all gonna talk me into one. Having the Audible in it would be great . I‘ll keep watching to see how you all like them after using them awhile. 6y
Ashley_Nicoletto I have the Oasis and I am obsessed with the bigger screen. I can't decide if I enjoy the ergonomic design, but I added a case to it and that helped. The best was reading in the pool with it on vacation and not worrying about it getting a little wet! 6y

As promised 👌🏻👍🏻 #fantasy #epicfantasy

Yeah_I_Read Do you think it matters whether you have read the other series he‘s written first to enjoy this? 6y
Derf No @Yeah_I_Read this is a new series he has started, although ALL the others are well worth a read. I‘m jealous you haven‘t read them 😂😂 6y
Yeah_I_Read @Dannyhattan lol they‘ve been on my radar for a while and I own The Magicians Apprentice but I just haven‘t gotten to them yet. Thanks 😊 6y

That‘s it, hooked 🐠. It took a quarter of the book for it to happen. The dreaded count down is on till the end of the book 😒☹️ then I‘m presuming a long wait for book 2. 😡 #fantasy #epicfantasy #raymondefeist

“Those who know don‘t talk, and those who talk don‘t know.” Probably explains why I‘m so quite ... 😂😂😂 great book so far. Bit frustrated with the amount of grammar issues, someone didn‘t do their job properly when proof reading the #kindle version, and that annoys me as I‘d love to be paid for that 👌🏻😬🤣🧐 #fantasy #epicfantasy #raymondefeist

Post up on blog about the books I bought, borrowed and plundered in January. I won a thing, I bought a few (though I have cut back) and I have been continuing my #libraryhaul
One of goals in Jan was to read books I‘ve borrowed and I did get through 4/5 borrowed 🙌 and #currentlyreading the fifth 😊
