pickI feel like this was a pretty solid ending for the duology. I get why they separated the original book where they did and why but I feel like you lose something having the break in between. This one was fun because it wasn't focused solely on Thomas and Pug so we got to see the secondary characters shine. I will say things ended in a way that I don't really feel the need to carry on with the series. Still enjoyed my time with this though.

Todays book is one I‘ve probably owned the longest & reread more than thrice. Given to me at 15yrs old(now 51 so 36yrs ago😱)and personally signed at a Con my son took it to for me, it‘s one of my most treasured books & loved for the story as well. Started my love of high fantasy & will forever be my benchmark for it.
#WyrdAndWonder (belated) day 19 | who‘s afraid of the suck fairy?
She‘s left her tarnish on a number of teen faves, and left me scared to open others.
Still, I‘m kinda wanting to revisit Midkemia after the Bookish Memory Check tag got me thinking about it. Riftwar was never a favourite, but I recall liking some of the characters and I fancy a slice of classic epic fantasy. But will these be covered in suck fairy dust?
pickIntricate fantasy story where the line between good and evil is very blurred.
An amazing story about the growth of a young boy and his psychological challenges when faced with differente perspectives of the same problem.
Packed with action, drama, love stories, magic and sword fighting, elves and dwarfes, dragons and legendary items... everything a good fantasy story should have.
pickOne of the best birthday presents ever was this copy of one of my favourite books from my boyfriend. We later got it signed at waterstones canterbury
Spent last night flicking through it and reading all my favourite bits 😊
Finally, what was in that huge box from booktopia.com.au? First up we have a brand new edition of Raymond E Feist‘s classic fantasy epic, Magician. Plus it‘s signed! I have a 30yr old, pretty battered edition that was personally signed by Feist at SuperNova in Sydney a few years ago so I‘m debating whether I should collect the series in the new editions & retire my original novels to the collectibles shelves or gift it to a virgin Feist reader🤔
#OldCoolBooks #day23 #Masterpiece As far as I‘m concerned,this is a masterpiece of high fantasy.It‘s still the benchmark I hold every fantasy book to, it has everything you want in a great story. There‘s castles & battles,magic,elves,a RiftWar between two completely different worlds & a young boy with a rags to power story.This copy is my original edition that I‘ve had since I was 15yrs old & was personally signed by the author at a convention.✍🏼
#LitsyClassics #MayLovesClassics #day10 #Fantasy I‘ve been reading fantasy books since I was a preteen in the early 80s. These are if not my #Top4 then they‘re at least in my #Top10 Top left is The Wheel Of Time by Robert Jordan- Top right is Thomas Covenant The Unbeliever by Stephen Donaldson- Bottom right is the DiscWorld series by Terry Pratchett & Bottom left is The RiftWar Saga by Raymond.E.Feist. Every one of them phenomenal!
Congrats on your 10k milestone @GrilledCheeseSamurai ! And thanks so much for the #HipHobbInto2018 giveaway!
It's sooooooo hard for me to pick a favorite fantasy book, I love so many of them! But for the sake of your giveaway I'll settle on Raymond Feist and the start of his Riftwar Saga with Magician: Apprentice. I just love the characters Feist creates! I know it's a great book when I miss the characters after reading the book!
#BooksAcrossOceans #day5 #SignedCopies This is about a third of my signed copies.Most have signed bookplates from sub boxes.But I also have personally signed copies too, I saw Karin Slaughter speak in Picton & she signed two books.

I've just started reading my Mum's copy of this classic trilogy, she has great taste in book and loves them.....so far I'm hooked! 💜🌟💜 #fantasy #fantasyfiction #magician #weekendreading #classic #trilogy
Still making progress on this, and I'm still hoping to finish it in time for #24in48
Just some #ItsSoLateItsEarly reading in hope of getting this finished by #24in48 - I already have my TBR for it. I've even stocked up on tea and this cute new cup.
Well that just got interesting! Poor Tomas. Just doing some #ItsSoLateItsEarly reading
I'm ready for the week thanks to my planner. Got quite a bit of reading planned, but I'm not sure how much I'll actually do.
This is my beautiful Ren, who also likes to read with me! 💕

How did you find this book? What did you like or didn't like? How about the length, or the characters?
I love this series but for me the two after this one take the cake! Don't get me wrong this book is great and sets up a lot, but some Pug moments were really long for me. Anyway, what did you think?

#Riotgrams #day23 #BookYouveOwnedTheLongest I have a few books that I've had since I was a uiteenager, but none more old than these three. Magician I was given by the mother of my then boyfriend after I'd borrowed it more than twice to read (it's signed!) The TommyKnockers I was given by my sister & Lord Fouls Bane by my brother. All three are at least 30 years old. They've survived moves, floods, baking heat & dogs.
Currently 29 degrees C in London, and I am melting. Having a book day in front of the fan.
pickIn my series of #LizsLibraryLoves we're up to age 15 when I went on a 3yr fantasy/paranormal binge.This is my original copy of Magician, which is also personally signed by the author (thanks to my boy who stood in line for 3hrs!).Pug is a kitchen boy, recently apprenticed to the palace Magician when a rift is torn between two worlds & he is taken to Kelewan as a slave. With the rift closed, he learns how to survive while trying to find a way home.
#RockInMay #day10 #LongLongWayFromHome This is one of my most loved fantasy novels. Pug is a kitchen boy from Midkemia,until he's apprenticed to the court wizard.Then they come under attack from a people they've never seen before & Pug is kidnapped,taken through a rift between worlds & put to work in Kelewan as a slave.For years, as he grows into a man,he knows that home is unobtainable for the rift permanently closed after the attack. 5⭐️
"But for the most part, love is a recognition, an opportunity to say, 'There is something about you I cherish'."
#feistyfeb #day24 #bildungsroman I had to look this one up before I found a book that fit. Had no clue what it meant! My rather battered copy of Magician, it's 30yrsold & handsigned in person, fits the description I think. This first book in the Riftwar saga is about Pug, first his apprenticeship to a magician, then his kidnapping to Kelewan & his teenage years as a slave before getting free and becoming the strongest Mage in all the worlds.
#photoadaynov16 #day19 #onewordtitles I thought I might only find one or two books for this challenge, but I found quite a few. There were more but they wouldn't fit in the shelf so we have, Grimoire,December,Gravity,Magician,Tithe,Scalpel,Fellside,You,Genesis,Broken,Cinder,Divergent,Insurgent,Allegiant & Nemesis. I think You may be the shortest title in my whole library. And a range of genres as well, crime,fantasy,scifi,horror, even a retelling.
pickTBT (even though it's now Friday in aus) to my 32yr old signed copy of Magician, my first epic fantasy series. Pug, orphaned apprentice to a sorcerer in Midkemia, is captured by the Tsurani, invaders from another world. Taken back to Kelewan he becomes Milamber and learns to control his powers.5⭐️
so-soFull of fantasy cliches, but if you're a fan of Tolkein/RR Martin etc, you will find it tolerable (but not world class). The characterisation needed further development.
Found this 1984 copy of Magician today. It is 831 pages, unrevised :D
