though for high fantasy description is of prime importance to get the reader oriented but in comparison to the specific plot building its too much. Let me tell crisply what I liked and didn't like which may help you take the decision whether or when you will read this riftwar series.ĭislikes first: too much description of the surroundings at few of the places. you will be introduced to a dragonlike creature named firedrake oh and there is dragon as well though not covering much of the story. there are elves and dwarves and bit of goblins as well. so, few bits of romanticism will come at firsthand. There are some other characters like the princes of crydee lyam and arutha and a wonderfully described princess named carline. (don't like to tell much about the story, better read it yourself if u feel like) tomas and pug are two friends who were chosen as well. On which day 15 year old boys are chosen under few specific masters for apprenticeship. on the far westerncoast of the human kingdom of Rillanon there is a province named crydee where a ritual is maintained that as per requirement they set a day of choosing.

Storyline has been built on a world named midkemia.

(don't like to tell much about the story, better read it yourself if u feel like) there are some my rating 3.75 My rating 3.75 storyline has been built on a world named midkemia. If you enjoy reading about other people RPG campaigns - this is a decent but flawed effort, otherwise you could have been reading something else.more It's painfully obvious, from fantasy tropes (city of Valinor, evil orcs, evil dark elves, dragons, magic weapons that give you superpowers), stumbling thru adolescent romance to black and white supporting characters without any depth to them. I remember reading it as a kid and it felt great, but now I you clearly see this a s a first book author ever wrote. There are five female characters in the book - one is Queen of elfs for one of the main characters to fall in love, second in a princess to fall in love with, third - mentioned princess maid / help lady, one of the main characters mom and lastly another 9 year old princess at the castle in Krondor. Chosen one / coming of the age story where main characters can't do no wrong and everyone has infinite amounts patience for them - be it princes, mages, kings or dragons. Pretty sloppy writing, fantasy by numbers.

There are five female characters in the book - one is Queen of elfs for one of the main characters to fall in love, second in a princess to fall in love with, third - mentioned princess maid / help lady, one of the main characters mom and lastly another 9 year This book was OK at best.
