The astonishing first volume in Raymond E. Feist’s bestselling Serpentwar Saga… A nest of vipers is stirring. . .
Ancient powers are readying themselves for a devastating confrontation. A dark queen has raised her standard and is gathering armies of unmatched might.
Into this battleground of good and evil a band of desperate men are forced, whose only hope for survival is to face this ancient power and discover its true nature.
Among them are some unlikely heroes – Erik, a bastard heir denied his birth right, and his friend Roo, an irrepressible scoundrel with a penchant for thievery. They are accompanied by the mysterious Miranda, upon whom all must wager their lives.
Every YA cliché imaginable tossed together in a world that was more interesting in his previous work.
I have a real love/hate for Feist. His Magician series was good, some of the Riftwar was good, but he's just all over the place (IMO).
All I ask is for a little consistency, is that too much?
