To come on a list dedicated to a well respected and successful author and not only put him down but self promote yourself as superior without even having been published is beyond bizarre. I hope you get published and your review have you compared to Tolkien, you'll never receive a penny from me and I will not be any less for never having read your far superior, self surprising work.

Ok tell me I am wrong in regards the King and the malady, which has struck him? Tell me please, and I have read neither of these parts yet , but Pug comes back as a dark robe? Sorry predictable!!! What is the point in me reading something, where I know what is going to transpire next? My own work takes me by surprise at times andI have written it, why is this such a feat to ask by - as you said it yourselves of best selling authors? Admittedly this is not even just Feist! He uses the word reverie too often, and in the wrong context. What are wrong with, and here's just a few - the words: contemplation, musings? Here's another just be going on with, there is a piece where he states, where the hunters check the Tsurani have left traps. Erm does he not mean - not, or is this some cunning attempt to lure the Tsurani into a false sense of security? And this is the place my patience held out no more, and if I am wrong please correct me? Garret asked, "What if some of your fellow countrymen had been along?" Charles shrugged. "The cho-ja would have been speaking Tsurani. Their language is almost impossible to learn, so no one tries." Hold on, I thought Charles's countrymen were Tsurani, that was the whole point? And I know the cho-ja can speak the same language as them! Also, I also lost empathy for the characters when they insisted on calling the poor Asian-like bugger - Charles; how very worldly of them... nothing like having an openmind to new cultures. I suppose, we should be relieved that they did not refer to him as Bert, Bob or Frank the like? I am actually less than two thirds through the first book... I just feel if he is not prepared to make the effort to get these things right and consistent, why should I? And this is not just me, other people have - and these are avid fans, but raging inconsistencies between books. It is not worth arguing about either, I wanted to be blown-away by this book and get into reading the entire series. I want to find other authors who are better than I think I am and be challenged, then I can learn something from them! I have admittedly learnt some things from Feist, but there is somewhat more I am disappointed with, but unfortunately this is a fact, and I wish it were not so - I absolutely wish I had found his book more challenging. And no, I don't lurk under bridges, just on a weekend, in scarlet make up, and a frock - besides... the police have already warned about that!
