Publisher Description
Three decades . . . Five Riftwars . . . One magnificent saga: From New York Times bestselling author Raymond E. Feist comes Magician's End, the final book in the epic Riftwar Cycle.
Thirty years ago, Feist's first novel, Magician, introduced us to an orphan boy named Pug, who rises from slavery to become a Master Magician, and to Midkemia and the Riftwar, an epic series of battles between Good and Evil that have scarred Pug's world for generations.
After twenty-nine books, Feist delivers the crowning achievement of his renowned bestselling career: Magician's End, the final chapter in The Chaos Wars, the climax of his extraordinary Riftwar Cycle.
Pug, now the greatest magician of all time, must risk everything he has fought for and everything he cherishes in the hope of destroying an evil enemy once and for all. But to achieve peace and save untold millions of lives, he will have to pay the ultimate price.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Readers who have experienced all, or most of the preceding 29 books in Feist's best-selling epic fantasy series, will be eager to find how it all ends. But even those who have kept up religiously with the characters and plot may find the resolution which does not shut the door to more books set in the world of Midkemia predictable and somewhat anticlimactic. His initial protagonists Pug, a master wizard, and Tomas, a superior warrior, are still around, and committed to fighting the forces of darkness to save their world. Pug's fate is heavily foreshadowed as early as chapter one, he's warned that he must prepare "to sacrifice everything to save everything." That ultimate confrontation is a long time coming, and long stretches of the book pass with Pug offstage. There's not much here to distinguish this from countless other fantasy tales (the political intrigue is very dull), and the freshness that marked Feist's earlier work including his ruthlessness at killing off significant players has dimmed, unsurprisingly, after so long.
Customer Reviews
Best ending ever
This is the best ending to a 32 book series one could ask for.
A end to greet beginnings
I started this series as a boy and at long last conclude this epic as my first child draws closer to being born. I feel as if a part of me is ending to greet the new adventures of fatherhood. Thank you for this, your stories mean more to me than even I can know.
A new beginning
No spoilers here just that Feist has done it again and hopefully not for the last time. I have read each an every book and the wonderful world, history, and characters Feist has created and woven together so intricately do not disappoint one last time. Bravo Mr. Feist and thank you for taking me in a wonderful adventure!
