Here starts an adventure that will span lifetimes and worlds. Discover where the story begins. Raymond E. Feist is an internationally best-selling author. My name is Pug. I was once an orphaned kitchen boy, with no family and no prospects, but I am destined to become a master magician....
War is coming to the Kingdom of the Isles from another world, bringing with it chaos and destruction. Pug yearns to train as a warrior and fight for his kingdom alongside his foster-brother, Tomas, but instead he is forced to follow a different path: a path that will lead him right into the heart of the enemy. And one that will change the course of the war - and two worlds - forever. So begins the most epic series in fantasy fiction, a tale that will cross worlds and generations. Magician is the first book in the Riftwar Saga. The trilogy continues with book two, Silverthorn.

It tells the tale of Pug and Tomas, two young boys growing up in the provincial stronghold of Crydee, in the land of Midk...
Little more than halfway through now, so far its quite good. Took a turn in a different direction to what i expected which was good as I was concerned it would be too predictable (and too similar to another popular epic fantasy). A couple things are not so good, one being the character developments....
I almost thought I was growing weary of fantasy novels (which I hate to admit, because I know it sounds awful and almost impossible). At least the modern definition of 'fantasy' with all its clichés and predictable plots. So when I picked up "Magician" I was not expecting much - having almost judged...
