Really brings Raymond E Feist’s novels to life

Great reading, very ending and enjoyable to listen to. Highly recommend others to try. Bravo!

Best of it's kind

Excellent on all accounts, uniquely original, deep, dense, captivating, smart, funny full of actions and yet so much to think about. Characters with high morals and masters at Machiavellian schemes... I can't get enough of this magnificent story. The Empire trilogy is really a gem of literature, fantasy, and political intrigues.

Strong characters. Intreaguing story line.

I liked the descriptive and vivid description of an imagionary background and culture. Rapid storytelling pace. Life like characters with depth. Complete escapism!

I love the twisting turning plots and fullness

Characters are fully developed, the shadings of personality are complex just as each of us is. The plots has subtle twists and divergence just as you think you see the whole picture you realize that there is still more to consider. I have listened to it twice and know I will need to listen to the entire Rift War series again as it's going to be with a keener ear to put deeper nuances on some events.
Such a pleasure.
I would love to hear the series redone with a group of narrators for the various main characters and an overall narrator for sub characters and main story.
Thanks awfully for such an awesome saga.

Great sendoff to Mara

Tania Rodrigues does an amazing job bringing Mara and her world to life. One of the most emotional endings to any but Magicians's end.
