Wow, you weren't kidding about the last 3rd of the book. So many "Holy poop" moments!
Glad you enjoyed the ending too! I'll probably dive into Dust of Dreams this weekend. 
Dust of Dreams...well, good luck to that.
What was your problem with Dust of Dreams, by the way? I'm about a 10th of the way through it at the moment. Very easy and flowing read so far.
A few of the scribes have mentioned that Dust of Dreams is one of their least favorite Malazan books.
Yeah, I remember reading that somewhere, but I don't remember if reasons were given. Or if they were, I don't remember them. So I'm just curious. |

As one of those who dont like Dust of Dreams , let me first say that I had read all the Malazan books back to back without any problems so far, but once I got to Dust of Dreams I found that I could no longer continue with the series until a year had passed. The book is very hard to read and there is just too much pontificating by the characters. This problem is exacerbated by Eriksons use of the same old themes and you feel as if you have heard the same monologues a hundred times before.
Of course I might be being overly harsh here, perhaps I just needed a break from the series. Which is one of my favorites by the way. |

Have returned to the magical world of Midkemia with Raymond Feists Shadow of a Dark Queen.
Was a bit surprised by the time jump but am enjoying the book so far. |

Red Magic by Jean Rabe
The criticism of Jean Rabe on many forums led me to believe I would be writhing in mental anguish trying to finish this book. I ended up really enjoying it. I thought, even from a technical standpoint, she's got her ducks in a row. She handled Szass Tam rather eloquently and Thay really came to life for me. Is it a perfect novel? No, but it was pretty good, if not a little anti climactic.
I wonder, has anyone done a tally of how many Harper's die in the Harper series? It seems it's gotta be at least in the triple digits. |

I enjoyed Red Magic too when I first read it years ago. At the time I believe it was the first Realms novel where Thay was featured. Great cover too!  |

Szass Tam was originally Ed's character, and was detailed in every edition of many FR game products.
But yes, Red Magic was probably his first appearance in the novels. I didn't like this novel but in fairness I do agree that depicted Szass Tam fairly well. |

That is incorrect! FTW-Szass Tam's first appearance in a FR novel was at the end of Dragonwall. The forces of Kahan were turned south towards Cormyr when Szass showed him in an illusion what would happen if they were to attack Thay.

I haven't read Dragonwall 
Although it was published before Red Magic, in which Szass was basically a minor character but major plot device. |

I personally couldn't finish the book - gave up halfway through. A lot of the character interaction just seemed so illogical and forced. I remember one scene in particular. The druid was carrying the woman/wizard over his shoulder and she was struggling - losing her shoe in the process...and the druid just kept on walking, only to later get angry when she couldn't walk in the wilderness without shoes. They were supposedly allies. *frown* Kinda should have picked up the shoe eh? |

I just started reading books by Feist somewhat recently , but I am definitely a fan now. So I am reading the books in the order they were written.
Shadow of a Dark queen is indeed a very good novel, kind of a Dirty Dozen vibe. |

I think Feist's earlier series were definitely his best work. His last few series really seem to blend together (in a bad way) and it just feels like the same old thing repeated...IMHO of course. |

The Feist series that I really enjoyed were the Riftwar Saga, the Serpentwar Saga, the Conclave of Shadows trilogy, and Prince of the Blood/King's Buccanneer. The Krondor trilogy was mediocre and I disliked his 3 book series where he had a co-author (Riftwar legacy?). His last few series are the ones that just seemed to be repetitive to me and I think they were called the Darkwar and Chaoswar series. |

Yeah my friend , the one who introduced me to Feist, who said that he didnt enjoy the last few series that much. He was just reading them to keep up with the story. Apparently they are too 'talky' and the action is not ' thrilling' . His words. Anyway , thanks for the response, I still have some time before i have to deal with this downturn. |

| The books are still ok but at that point the series just started to feel a little long winded...which is totally understandable since there are 20+ Midkemia books out there. I am going through something similar with Terry Brooks, whom I love, but at least Brooks is spacing out the time frame for the Shannara novels: releasing some pre-Shannara stuff and then releasing books that continue the latest plotline. |

| Finished Weapons Master's Choice, and eBook short story by Terry Brooks. As with the previous Terry Brooks short story; my only complaint is that it wasn't long enough! I could read an entire book about Garet Jax and not get bored but I thought this short story offered a nice window into a different side of a beloved character from Shannara. This story makes me want to re-read Wishsong of Shannara....for the 6th time. |

Primarily Erikson's verbal flux. He's got it starting Book 3, Memories of Ice, but it just got worse in Dust of Dreams. And he recycled a couple of themes and pointless soliloquies that were hard to digest. I didn't hate the book, but it's at the bottom of my list.
Note: I haven't yet read all the Malazan novels. And those I did, I did so out of order. |

The plotline of the Malazan books is complicated and confusing enough when reading them in order, so I can't even imagine trying to read them out of order. Out of curiosity, which ones have you read? |

Hmm. It's one of the Riftwar novels that I haven't yet re-read...because I was underwhelmed when I read it some years ago. There's more exposition than real action. [If there's anything I won't forget about that book, though, it's what Nakor did towards the end. ]
If I were to rank the Serpentwar saga, it's going to be like this:
1st: Rage of a Demon King
2nd: Shadows of a Broken Crown (though this is the book that made me question Pug's "intelligence")
3rd: Shadow of a Dark Queen
4th: Rise of a Merchant Prince (which I mostly skimmed through)

No, but it was pretty good, if not a little anti climactic.
I wonder, has anyone done a tally of how many Harper's die in the Harper series? It seems it's gotta be at least in the triple digits.
I enjoyed Red Magic too when I first read it years ago. At the time I believe it was the first Realms novel where Thay was featured. Great cover too!
Agreed on the cover part. As for the story, well, I hated the pesky Harpers. But Szass Tam and Maligor, and Thay itself, were well-fleshed out. The ending was rather anti-climactic, though.

If I treat it as a "series," it'll be my least fave. If as individual books, Book 3, Rage of a Demon King, is near the top.
Eventually, Thauranil, you'll get used to Feist's utilization of time-jumps, as this is not the first. But fret not, there's nothing as drastic as the Realms' 100-year (SP) time jump.

If I weren't a Szass Tam/Thay fan, I probably would have given up on it as well. Still, I believe Jean Rabe compensated for her "shortcomings" by fleshing out Szass Tam and Maligor well, and by giving colors to Thay.

Which last series exactly? I loved both the Demonwar and Chaoswar series. Yes, Feist 'recycled' a few themes and some subplots, but he always managed to blend them with something relatively new and put his characters (old and new alike) in situations that brought out the best and worst in them.

The Darkwar gets props primarily for showing the "darker" sides of "reality"--a departure from Feist's usual handling of themes.

True, that was his first "appearance." However, it was more like an afterthought. He never appeared again after that silly encounter with the brainless barbarians. [I was kinda hoping he'd materialize out of nowhere and rip Azoun's heart just for the fun of it.] In Red Magic, he was more involved in the plot. |

Reading my way through the Demonwars saga. Read the first 5 or so books like a decade ago, never finished the series (second saga if we're being technical).
Started over, currently in The Demon Spirit. |

If you've read the Coldfire Trilogy by CS Friedman, there's a recent e-book novella released called Dominion.
If you haven't read Coldfire, read it. Then read Dominion. |

Reading Scoundrels now. I had stopped to read a couple of Simon R Green's Secret Histories books that I was behind on.
Not sure what is next... I'm really wanting to revisit Krynn; I've not read thru the Chronicles and Legends in a long time -- several years, perhaps. At the same time, I'm also wanting to stick to my resolution of reading more new books than re-read old books. I've only read new books, thus far, for 2013, but reading thru all of the DL books (I only have the Weis & Hickman books) will skew the total back towards re-reads... 
I'll prolly read the DL books next, anyway, and then make a point of balancing things out through the rest of the year. It's not like there isn't plenty of 2013 left... |
