Into a Dark Realm

Read this a couple of weeks back, and found it very good. I really liked some of the twists that Feist put in.
But I saw the last bit coming.

Stupid question but did anyone else read it.

Re: Into a Dark Realm

Finished, again very enjoyable, difficult to put down, just what I've gone to expect from Feist.

Re: Into a Dark Realm

Is it a follow-on from his previous books, with Pug in it, or a new series altogether?

I've seen both these titles for the next book being banded about the net. I think it's a saga not a trilogy so maybe both titles are correct?

Re: Into a Dark Realm

do u find that Feist begins the story with a lotta detail but when it comes to the good bits (mainly the end) he rushes it an squeezes em into 1 or 2 chapters

Re: Into a Dark Realm

Magician's Son is the next one, maybe Wrath of a mad God is one after?

Re: Into a Dark Realm

Wrath of a Mad God does sound suspicious. Too much like, Rage of a Demon King, Rise of a Merchant Prince or Shadow of a Dark Queen.
Too similar.... It doesn't set it apart from Serpentwar.
I'm probably wrong (usually am) Flight of the Night Hawks sounds the same as well I guess.

As for ending books or stories too quickly, I don't think he does. Shards of a Broken Crown slowed that whole saga back down again and it's the most 'padded' of his novels (the revised Magician aside) I would have prefered Rage of a Demon King to have been longer and included Shards in it.
