Goodness gracious, Raymond Feist is back. I hope all of you are somewhat familiar with Feist. He was a staple of my childhood and wrote a ton of fantasy that was a part of my gateway into the genre, and into reading in general. His classic Magician is fantastic and I was excited to hear…
A number of us are travelling this week so we will not have a Tuesday post, but look forward to a review on The King of Ashes, by Raymond Feist on Thursday and a boat load of other stuff coming soon!
