Publisher's summary

To the forest on the shore of the Kingdom of the Isles, the orphan Pug came to study with the master magician Kulgan. But though his courage won him a place at court and the heart of a lovely princess, he was ill at ease with the normal ways of wizardry. Yet Pug's strange sort of magic would one day change forever the fates of two worlds. For dark beings from another world had opened a rift in the fabric of spacetime to being again the age-old battle between the forces of Order and Chaos.

A wonderful addition to anyone's library

Disregarding my small struggle adjusting to the narrator I might say that I enjoy this book over reading the print edition. Truly capturing storytelling. I hope more of the authors work is published on Audible!

Love this book

I read this book about 15 years ago and wanted to pick up and re-read it and continue with the rest of the saga.
I could still remember a lot from the first time it is a book that will stick with you and you want to continue to read to get to know more

Books holds up in adulthood.

I first read the book 20 years ago as a teenager. It was fantastic then. I just got this to listen to to see if it held up as a good book and to determine at what age I could share it with my children. Some of the detail in the romantic scenes might not be suitable for my 11 year old, I'll have to finish Master and make an overall determination.

I was a bit disappointed with the narration. The tone is kind of low and instead of being haunting or foreboding, it just makes it a little harder to hear. If I didn't already know everything that was about to happen I might have a harder time listening to it.

Another issue is pronunciation. I understand that specific names are going to be pronounced differently from person to person, but the differences are a bit much in this book. And I can't write it all off to that since I heard normal English words pronounced wrong.

One of my favorites!

If you like fantasy, you might just love this book. Pug & Thomas are great characters to follow as they grow. This was one of my first fantasy books to read and the audio version lives up to the memory.

My love of reading started with this book.

The first book I actually completed reading from beginning to end. It sparked my love of reading from then on. Thirty years later it is still my favorite and Raymond. E. Feist continues to be one of my all time favorite authors!

Great stuff

This is one of my favorite fantasy stories, the author does a wonderful job of world building, Midkemia is a great place. And the main characters seem like people I really want to know.
