Thisis a series of posts about fantasy novels that I love, or loved, and that really got me into fantasy. Some of them have not really stood the test of time, some I grew out of, and others are still great. But all of them fed into how I came to love fantasy and how I perceive the genre.
Daughter of the Empire remains one of my favourite fantasy books. While I loved and always will love Magician, Daughter offered me something that was truly new and opened up a new vista on the possibilities of fantasy.
I only recently began the Riftwar series, starting with Magician and following the recommended reading order at -feist/reading-order/alternate. The original trilogy I enjoyed but as too often is the case, I found characterization limited. It was as if Feist only made a half dozen character sketches, mostly male, and all characters were those sketches with various names.
