Magician: Apprentice
Raymond E. Feist
Age: Grade 9+
Rating: 9/10
This is one of the first books of my favorite series. So those who are like "Who would teacher this book?" I would say, "Anyone who wants to get their students/kids entangled in one of the best fantasy series ever.". This book is a great introduction to the 20+ book series of Raymond Feist. I have enjoyed all his books and looked forward to each release. The story is about two boys who are friend in a small medieval like town. They each have different aspirations in life. All of a sudden their life is turned upside down when they are thrusted into a war without any training. All of a sudden both boys must learn the trades offered to them or die. This book is amazing and do not want to give it away. If you were a Harry Potter fan, I suggest you read this book. It is like Harry Potter for adults. Great read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I hope you enjoyed this review (in this case a recommendation too). Please leave a nice comment if you have anything to say!
Thanks!

ReplyDeleteWhen you said harry potter for adults, I sounded less dirtier in your head right? Joke a side, looks interesting xD
ReplyDeleteThis is quite possibly one of the greatest fantasy writers ever, and I easily rank him above Tolkien for writing style.

ReplyDeletelooks like D&D :D
ReplyDeletesounds interesting, a possible addition to our library.
ReplyDeleteAnybody interested in good fantasy should check out Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" series, as well!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS BOOK - This is the first series of books to ever make me laugh and cry and freak out all in the same story, the characters are so wonderful and the plot is awesome. I'm so glad you decided to review it :) The first books i read were the Empire Trilogy he wrote with Janny Wurts, same story but from the other worlds point of view, they deserve an honourable mention, though the writing style is a fair bit more complex :) Thanks for the awesome review :)
