I have to agree, I've been putting off reading the last 3 books, as I didn't want it to end, but I finished Magician's End last week, and it was truly epic!! I won't put any spoilers in here for the sake of those that haven't yet read it! I was introduced to Midkemia by a workmate who was really into his fantasy and science fiction, way back when I was a 17 year old apprentice fabricator welder, he only had the first 3 Riftwar books and the Empire books, but I was hooked! I've met Ray several times at book signings in Nottingham over the last 6 or 7 years, and I can't thank you enough for these awesome works, they've brought me so much joy over the last 21 years, I've read and re-read them so many times, and they just get better with every read!
I'm certainly looking forward to the new stuff...
