Once again, wading through volumes of fantasy – need to turn my attention elsewhere for a while – but just finished the Riftwar saga, which was pretty durn good. From talking to a fan-friend at work, it sounds like Feist, more than most, has spun this franchise out far and wide to make money, and it seems likely its going to work on me. I’ve just ordered the next six books from Amazon…

Bring on the Serpentwar Saga…. (well, after a short interlude of reading books not written in flowery English, with characters riding on dragons, casting spells and being generally invulnerable/immortal).

Actually; I’m going to read Shalimar the Clown next, and old Salman does like to put in a character that’s a bit like him into his books sometimes (“Fury”, anyone?), so there may be someone godlike in there. At any rate, it will be better than “On Beauty”…
