    But they are seperated by trilogies etc. who spans hundreds of years apart from the other trilogies etc. It's just set in the same fantasy world. When Feist wrote Magician in 1982, he was not planning on any more books, LOL.
    lol Will keep you busy lol. Sounds cool though.

    It's very standard and straight forward fantasy at this point. With every typical fantasy tropes and cliches. But it's to be expected I guess. Feist is counted by many fantasy fans to be one of the Big 5 (J.R.R. Tolkien, George R.R. Martin, David Eddings, Jack Vance and Raymond E. Feist) But when you have read as much fantasy as I have, you really want something that goes outside those typical tropes and cliches. There is no doubt in my mind that Raymond E. Feist is inspired by other authors, as there has already been homage to other fantasy series and authors in these two first books.

    After finishing the second book by Feist, I decided to put him down for a while and rather go back to one of my favorite book series ever written, by one of my favorite authors of all time. Earlier I've read the five other books in this series, but just got my hand on book 6 and 7. So now I am only missing book 8. It's been a while since I read this series, but God Damn was I happy I went back, because I suddenly remembered why I loved this so much.

    Started on the 7th book in The Incarnations Of Immortality series earlier today. Only one book left in the series, and that book is hard to get a copy of.

    I told my sister I wanted the 8th book for my birthday. Hopefully she gets it for me. It's available on ebay etc. It's just that I never ordered anything from there.

    I've seen the movie many times, but was never able to finish the book. I've started on it two times before, but had to put it down, because there is just so many Japanese names to keep control on, lol. Let's see if I'm able to finish it this time around.

    I love that movie and part 2. Good ol dystopian societies. The book should be good as it will delve more into the characters.

    I actually managed to finish Battle Royale this time, lol. I still found it a bit hard, because of all those Japanese names, and keeping track on them, but I've watched the movie so many times, so I got the general gist anyways. So, when I was about to choose a new book to read, I had a few problems on making up my mind, but in the end I settled for a book. And it's a book I dread to read.

    So it's come to this. The last Honor Harrington novel. I guess I'll find out why Weber hasn't written any more novels about her since 2018....

    Well, I finally finished the last Honor Harrington book... I want more!

    In the meantime I thought I would check out Weber's adventures in the fantasy genre, as it's not what he's not most famous for.
    This is the first book of 5, in the series known as " The War God "

    Just started on the second book in David Weber's " War God " series. And I gotta say, this guy can write fantasy as well as he can write Space-Opera. I can't believe I havent read these books before. Pretty excited for the second book
