He is someone who by rights should be dead atleast twice. Come on, you didn't see that happening? It was quite obvious...

About Into a Dark Realm, I actually found it a lot better than the previous 4 books. Still, hooked to Midkemia, so I've read them all :-

But has Feist ever been especially good? Well, Magician is his, without doubt, best work yet, and The Serpent War his, without doubt, best serie yet, but he has never been anything more than temporary entertainment in my eyes, and, without expectations, one can never be disappointed when reading his books. Flight of the Nighthawks is in no way different from his other work, and I actually found it better than some of them. Too bad his language is as terrible as it is.

I was dissappointed with both Silverthorn and A Darkness at Senathon. Silverthorn wasn't really a self-contained novel, while Magician stood much more on its own - the enemy only a distant threat, and A Darkness at Senathon spent ages in that massive pointless battle in that huge city, that they lost anyway. Just didn't have the stylishness of Magician - although I enjoyed the descriptions of the wars the Valheru had fought. Even though a lot of it was a bit too sci-fi for a fantasy novel - don't get me wrong, I enjoy a crossover as much as anybody, I love both genres equally, but there was something not quite right about the dimensional stuff in A Darkness at Senathon - much too grey. The imagery wasn't as startling in the second two books as in the first.
