![]() Review #2 Magician’s End audiobook in series Chaoswar Saga Riftwar Cycle Even as a fan, this isn’t worth your time. I’m somewhat surprised at the high review rating here, I suspect it’s just respect for the author’s final work in this series? The quality of his work has been on the decline, and I suppose that makes this painful trudge a fitting ending. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the author had passed and this book had been assembled from his discarded drafts, with the dialogue subbed out to a middle-school English class. “I’m named the same thing as character from 3 series ago, but I’m the second cousin twice removed of the count of the king of the other city but not in the line of ascent, I’m my own person!” The characters are flat, the dialogue is atrocious, and the Feist’s thing with recycling character names and lineages has grown threadbare to the point it’s worn through. ![]() ![]() ![]() The settings are either given short shrift or are generic as if generated by an automated AD&D description generator.
