About this listen
Here starts an adventure that will span lifetimes and worlds. Discover where the story begins.
Raymond E. Feist is an internationally best-selling author.
My name is Pug. I was once an orphaned kitchen boy, with no family and no prospects, but I am destined to become a master magician…
War is coming to the Kingdom of the Isles from another world, bringing with it chaos and destruction. Pug yearns to train as a warrior and fight for his kingdom alongside his foster-brother, Tomas, but instead he is forced to follow a different path: a path that will lead him right into the heart of the enemy. And one that will change the course of the war – and two worlds – forever.
So begins the most epic series in fantasy fiction, a tale that will cross worlds and generations.
Magician is the first book in the Riftwar Saga. The trilogy continues with book two, Silverthorn.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
If you have previously read the books and have your own image of what the characters look/sound like, then I would definitely recommend, as you may be able to ignore some of the more outlandish characterisations. Some were very distracting, and I think disengaged the listener from the story.Would you be willing to try another one of Peter Joyce’s performances?
As a fan of the series I'll be continuing, but despite of, not because the performance. The narration is good, however I did not get the high pitched "oriental" characterisation of all Tsurani characters, making everyone from slaves to Great Ones sound unsure of themselves (even when speaking in their own language!). A similar high-pitched tone was used for elves, making them all sound apologetic and a bit pathetic - not what I took from the books at all.Still love the story, narration not so much

I find it a little confusing at times when listening as it can get a bit complicated. Story gets you from the beggining. Well read but I think the reader but the complicated plot and the reader doesn't make it easier.
Plot really develops and the story is detailed good for imagining.
interesting... good fantasy

If you have not read this, read it first then listen. You pick up so much and it enhances the story ten fold. Thoroughly recommend this to anyone whether you are a fantasy fiction lover or not.
The only downside is I now have to get all of the riftwar saga on audible. Yes, that’s the only downside.
