As a fantasy reader when you pick up the first book in an established series like the 'Riftwar Saga' by Raymond E. Feist, you know you will be getting a good read. At least seven books make up this series. So a book like Magician: Apprentice is probably a fair bet for when you're in the mood to commit to a new series.
Magician: Apprentice probably won't be the best book you've ever read, but will likely keep you curious enough to read through the next book, and the next...Magician: Apprentice starts the Riftwar Saga, a collection about the war that rages between two worlds linked only by a magical rift through space and time. The story is set on two planets at war with one another and chronicles the life and times of two characters, Pug and his foster brother Tomas. The story starts in the sleepy little town of crydee, an outpost in the western province of midkemia.
You get the feeling that Midkemia is absolutely real. Feist's novels are descriptive, eventful, and possess a strong sense of adventure that keeps the reader turning pages. Silverthorn is my favorite of the Riftwar series, but they are all very good. Magican: Apprentice, in the Rift war saga, was the first ever fantasy series I read other than Lord of the Rings. If, like me, you are not so big on fantasy, but would like to give the genre a try, then I would recommend this book.

Yes, I realize now, that it is off topic, I have e-mailed them twice about getting it moved, but I haven't had a reply yet :/

What you have written is good, but the book you've written about seems to be by a different author. You can contact Ciao Feedback and ask them to move it for you (and add your book if it's not already there). Let me know when it's moved and I'll happily re-rate for you.
