Raymond E. Feist's classic fantasy epic, Magician, has enchanted readers for over twenty years. The revised edition was prepared to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its publication, and incorporates over 15,000 words of text omitted from previous editions. At Crydee, a frontier outpost in the tranquil Kingdom of the Isles, an orphan boy, Pug, is apprenticed to a master magician – and the destinies of two worlds are changed forever. Suddenly the peace of the Kingdom is destroyed as mysterious alien invaders swarm the land. Pug is swept up into the conflict but for him and his warrior friend, Tomas, an odyssey into the unknown has only just begun. Tomas will inherit a legacy of savage power from an ancient civilization. Pug’s destiny is to lead him through a rift in the fabric of space and time to the mastery of the unimaginable powers of a strange new magic.

    This book was really written, but it was way too long.

    I could have done without chapters of them constantly running through the forest. I get it. They were running away from something, but we didn't need it to be happening all the time.

    Some of the writing hasn't aged well. Female characters were merely a plot point to advance any male character development.

    At times, the plot was very stagnant towards the middle of the book. I think it could've easily been 200-300 pages shorter.

    But overall, I did enjoy it, and I loved watching Pug's journey.
