Hi,
I have a right to my comments, the fact many have not taken these
very well - at all, says more about them, than myself: My points were...
Ok tell me I am wrong in regards the King and the malady, which has struck
him? Tell me please, and I have read neither of these parts yet , but Pug
comes back as a dark robe?
Sorry predictable!!!
What is the point in me reading something, where I know what is going to
transpire next? My own work takes me by surprise at times and I have written
it, why is this such a feat to ask by - as you said it yourselves of best
selling authors? Admittedly this is not even just Feist!
He uses the word reverie too often, and in the wrong context. What are
wrong with, and here's just a few - the words: contemplation, musings?
Here's another just be going on with, there is a piece where he states,
where the hunters check the Tsurani have left traps. Erm does he not mean -
not, or is this some cunning attempt to lure the Tsurani into a false sense
of security?
And this is the place my patience held out no more, and if I am wrong
please correct me?
Garret asked, "What if some of your fellow countrymen had been along?"
Charles shrugged. "The cho-ja would have been speaking Tsurani. Their
language is almost impossible to learn, so no one tries."
Hold on, I thought Charles's countrymen were Tsurani, that was the whole
point? And I know the cho-ja can speak the same language as them!
Also, I also lost empathy for the characters when they insisted on calling
the poor Asian-like bugger - Charles; how very worldly of them... nothing
like having an openmind to new cultures. I suppose, we should be relieved
that they did not refer to him as Bert, Bob or Frank the like?
I am actually less than two thirds through the first book... I just feel
if he is not prepared to make the effort to get these things right and
consistent, why should I?
And this is not just me, other people have - and these are avid fans, but
raging inconsistencies between books.
It is not worth arguing about either, I wanted to be blown-away by this
book and get into reading the entire series. I want to find other authors who
are better than I think I am and be challenged, then I can learn something
from them! I have admittedly learnt some things from Feist, but there is
somewhat more I am disappointed with, but unfortunately this is a fact, and
I wish it were not so - I absolutely wish I had found his book more
challenging.
And no, I don't lurk under bridges, just on a weekend, in scarlet make up,
and a frock - besides... the police have already warned about that!

Well summarized, the ultimate caricature of critic. Since we know the
most brilliant and inciteful (Spelling intentional) minds are
misunderstood and thus will never be recognized or published in their
own lifetime
