Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most amazing read ever . Tantaiising the imagination.
Review: I just could not put the books down. Captured by new worlds and charactors. It was great getting to know all the charactors,their personalities. Imaging what they looked like and visualising every scene. I felt like I could just jump in to the book and go on the adventures as well. PLEASE KEEP WRITTING MORE AND MORE.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: More Light Fast Paced Fun From Feist
Review: In the author's forward to this edition Feist refers to his desire to write a "ripping yarn." Using his own assessment, he has succeeded. This episodic tale rarely tarries, leaping along from one event to the next, often jumping years ahead in order to avoid any lapse in action. The end result, while entertaining, tends toward caricaturization and the conventional. Feist's players are rather one dimensional and conform to stereotypes long ago established in the genre. And the heroes of this tale - male - are readily identifiable to any reminscence of romantic, boyhood imagining. Beneath the story and characters exists a masculine and juvenile expression of boyish ideals of power and heroism, mingled with notions of fairytale romance. This is acknowledged by Feist in the quotes chosen to preface both "Magician: Apprentice" and "Master." But while appealing, perhaps, to a certain nostalgia from childhood, this approach to storytelling confines the tale within limits that are simple, and offers neither the maturity nor complexity of the better work in fantasy that is available. This is a tale to read in moments of amusement, or when seeking uncomplicated, thoughtless escape.

The adulation for this tale by previous reveiwers continues to baffle me. This is good but simplistic fun. Far better work exists in the writing of Martin, early Donaldson, Jordan, Kerr, Hobb, Kay, or Williamson. And, if you want to read a REAL page burner, turn to Steven Erickson's "Gardens of the Moon:" By comparison Feist's tale is sedate.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Feist is one of the best fantasy authors ever!
Review: Magician:Apprentice has amazed me with its fantastic atmosphere,but Magician:Master was even better with many interesting characters and a well-thought plot.Feist is the best....(again)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The book is brilliant.
Review: It's one of the best books I've ever read. Only J.R.R Tolkien has writen better. The intrigue is good mixed with action and fantasy. There is alot of details without ever getting "long". The person gallery is good. Everyone has someone to compare themselves to.

If you has'nt read, hurry read it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: This story was immense in it's scope and possibilities.
Review: Right from the first chapter, it grabbed my attention and I became enthralled by this amazing fantastical, medieval land. I could not wait to read the remainder of the series, which became my most precious collection. Wonderful themes and characters make this a terrific read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than apprentice
Review: First off I thought Apprentice was very good. But after reading Master I realized that this one was very much better than the first one. Feist proves he has a very good talent in writing.

Rating: 5 stars
