Summary: Assassins Krondor ..
Review: This book was long awaited and much enjoyed by myself. I always love a good Krondor story, and this one is it. The only problem is if you've read all his other books, you know how the whole story comes out in the end. This book is an enjoyable read, I highly recommend all Feist books.

Summary: Go's To Show!
Review: Well, I've only read the first two books of "The Riftwar Legacy", but they would have to be some of the best books ever read! The book would appeal to different people. Some say it sucked, others say it was great, all I can say is read it for yourself (especially if you are into fantasy!!!!). Feist has talent, there is no doubt.

Summary: Why have I been reading this book?
Review: Okay; Book One of this Legacy already was a disappointment, but this one is absolutely crap.I say this as a big Feist-fan and I say it with a pain in my heart. There was such a big opportunity: the story is set in a time with great characters: Arutha, Jimmy and Locklear. But the big problem with this book is that nothing happens: the story is absolutely ridiculous. I dislike giving away the contents of a book, but let me say that if you read a summary of ten lines of this book that you know all that happened. How it exactly happened is not important; the events in the book are just as unrealistic as in book one. Example: Jimmy, alone, is able to kill a couple of hundred assasins, while he is their captive, in their secret stronghold. For every threat there is a solution in this series. No heroe ever dies or get badly injured, while hundreds of skilled enemy assasins die when a character merely looks them in the eye. Bah. Mr. Feist seriously downgraded the level of his genre with this volume. I still have to read part three of the series, and I hope it will be better, but to be honest I don't really look forward to it.

Summary: I Nearly Lost Track!
Review: Although I still think Feist is one of the greatest plot writers, he's not doing his best in this book. If I have to say which one was better, I'd say Betrayal was better in a sense of suspense and it was slightly funnier. The characters in this book are slightly better developed than usual and I think the plot is pretty good considering how we can follow James and William. However this book can lose suspense in the middle, but it gets better towards the end. In a way, Feist does repeat the plots in his books but then again, he doesn't. I can only recommend this for die-hard fans of the game or the book. It's an average book to the average reader. You need to make the judgement for yourself though.

Summary: OKAY He's back on track!
Review: What we suffered through in Krodor the Betrayal was worth the trip for thi, the latest release in the Riftwar Legacy series. Mr. Feist is back on track using his own imagination and plot development rather than relying on the plot development from the game that the first book of this series was based upon. In this book we see the character of Squire James developing into the future Duke of Krodor (see the Serpent War Series) as well as being introduced to new and nasty villains whose plan our heroes must foil. This book is a great example of what keeps me reading Mr. Feist's novels. Excitement and adventure! I can't wait for the third book, Krodor - Tear of the Gods, to hit the shelves next year!

Summary: Hardly Earthshaking
Review: The Krondor series is far less epic than the Riftwar or the Serpentwar saga, with problems that are more localized and less 'fate of the world.' Sadly, that takes much of the tension in the earlier books. The characters were also less compelling, making it hard for me to care about the problems they face or what happens to them. Assassins, like its predecessor Betrayal, is based on the bestselling PC game Betrayal at Krondor, but the parts about the game that were so effective simply don't work so well in fiction. The game suggested all sorts of possible tensions between the Crawler and the Thieves' Guild, and in my opinion, Feist could have resolved the ending in a far better way. We never really find out who is the villain of the piece, and there were so many loose ends in the plot I lost track of them. Other than that, the plot is halfway decent, and fans of the earlier books will have enough fond recollections of Jimmy and Arutha to continue with this. But if you've never read a Feist book before, my suggestion is that you read the first Riftwar book, Magician, which is a far better read.

Summary: Was this based on a game too?
Review: I didn't think this one was based on a game as well but hten I am not all knowing. I found this book to be a far superior novel to betrayal, and I enjoyed seeing William do something, he always had the potential to be an interesting charactor butfeist skipped to the serpentwar too soon. I will be glad when he finshes the riftwar legacy and continues after the serpentwar, not that I don't enjoy these books but I prefer to go forwards not backwards.

Summary: Computer games be damned, we want good stories.
Review: I have to start with nothing but admiration for the work Mr. Feist has done with the first books of the riftwar saga. "Magician: Apprentice" through a "Darkness at Sethanon" were fabulous, well rounded stories with vivid characters and settings that you could see. Then when he teamed up with Janny Wurts to do the three books on the other side of the rift I thought he was breaching some new horizons within himself, they didn't compare to the first four books, they were different and more sensual, personal feelings came into play with Mara and her family and the old war horses of Keyoke and Papewaio. Those tellings could not be paralleled. But this writing of books for computer games ... I play games, Dungeons and Dragons is a favorite, but to change the world of Midkemia to adapt to someone's computer games is almost sacrilege. I do not think that these "Krondor" books are worth the deviations. The story is weak, the characters are superficial, there is almost a dumb "computer-type-dialogue" to them and the world is falling apart because of it all. Mr. Feist, please finish this series of books, then set them off to the side and continue on with the world of Midkemia. Make it sing with life and glow with the ferver of a people that we can feel.
