I may just tackle the Empire series again after I finish my latest re-read, which currently is 'Murder In LaMut', which is, IMO a much maligned book that's really a lot of fun if one is willing to read it for what it is rather than expecting it to be a 'typical' REF.

As well as an in-depth look at Kingdom politics, there are some real laughs in this book too, with the Three Stooges fighting as mercenaries in the riftwar...

I never liked Murder in LaMut when i read it. Just a bad plot was my conclusion, but i'll have to read it again. I usually miss important things out the first time around

MIM has some things to offer, but U have to really take it out of the context of the 'usual' Feist feast and just look at it for itself. The humorous interplay among three guys who just 'wanna stick a sword in somebody and get paid for it' and find themselves in over their heads, can be really funny at times.

Getting back to the original topic tho - HE - among other things that makes this book so good is the classic battle of brother against brother between Morvai and Tinuvuiel (once Bovai) and the depths of emotion that the authors draw from both of them. Good stuff.
