so ive been putting this off for a while, not for want of trying, but just i wasn't in the place to be back into feist. given he has a new one coming out, i was glad i came back. i knew the next book was going to crossover with the riftwar saga, but then nathan appeared, then ruffio, and it was everything i loved about feist. yes, it's not the world greatest fantasy, and this one was a little skip over the action, but it was a simple happiness and im glad im back in feist world.
