Magician: Master is the absolute most outstanding book I have ever read, second only to Magician: Apprentice, the prequel to Magician: Master. If I had my way, I would rate this book a six out of five stars. In Magician: Apprentice, the orphan boy known as Pug trains under the master magician, Kulgan. As fate would have it, he also rescues the Duke of Crydee's Princess, Carline, and obtains the rank of Squire. With his newly found position, Pug quickly makes a name for himself, though he still tends to play with his lifelong friend, Tomas. When an alien vessel crash lands on the jagged cliffs known as Sailor's Grief, Pug and Tomas investigate the wreckage. After several tense meetings and councils, the aliens, known as the Tsurani, eventually appear in Midkemia and commence their massive invasion. On the way to the Kingdom capital of Rillanon, Tomas is separated from the others, is found by a dragon,and obtains a mystical armor. At the end of the first chapter of the war, which is known as the Riftwar, Pug is captured. On the Tsurani homeworld of Kelewan Pug becomes a Great One, one who is a master magician of the Greater Path, and soon becomes the most powerful magician on both worlds. As the war drags, Tomas falls in love with the elven Queen, Aglaranna. Tomas soon merges with the Valheru who once donned the mystical armor, and they become as one. Like a flying beacon he flies through the Tsurani ranks, bestowing death upon all who are so unfortunate to have been caught in his path. The story comes to a surprising conclusion at the end, and Feist creates his characters with such depth and detail that it is easy to imagine the characters in the world that he creates through his books. Book II of the Riftwar four book set (it's really three, but the original Magician was separated into Apprentice and Master), Magician: Master is definitely one of the best books ever written . . . if you like fantasy.

This is a fantasy tale about a magician, and a war between worlds. It is written in such detail that you wish to be there, to experience the world of Midkemia. Mr. Fiest writes this one so well that you begin to feel closeness to the charicters, and the world itself. It's full of action, suspence, love, and wonder.This is just one part of a 4 book story, that you won't be able to put down. In fact you will keep picking it up for years to come. Very Recommended!!! (don't forget to read the 3 book sequel, from the viewpoint of the enemy world, Tsurannuani. It's exellent also!)

... in dem die Geschichte ihr erstes Ende nimmt.

In direktem Anschluss zu "Magician: Apprentice" wird in diesem Buch die Geschichte von Pug und Thomas weitergeführt.

Pug erkennt endlich die Kunst der Magie, während Thomas sich mit dem Wesen eines Valheru vereint und einen harten Inneren Kampf bestehen muss.

Der Krieg um Midkemia kommt zu einem blutigen Ende.

Ohne sich groß zu verändern wird die Geschichte weitergeführt.

Weite Zeitpassagen werden einfach übersprungen, so dass die Entwicklung der Charakere ein wenig darunter leidet.

Alles in Allem ist es aber ein recht spannendes und lesenswertes Buch.

The best was the first one (Magician:Apprentice). These books have an intriguing plot line and many amazing characters. I couldn't stop reading either of them. A must for Fantasy lovers.

I used to read all the time, I didn't have much else to do. But then I stopped for years. I found this book and I couldn't but it down. I think it is definitely one of the best books I have ever read. I highly recomoned it.
