Resumen del Editor

As it began, so shall it end - in magic, mystery, and majesty... Magician's End

Thirty years ago, Raymond E. Feist wrote his first novel, Magician, a story about an orphan boy named Pug who is thrust by a war into captivity in an alien world, only to rise from slavery to become a Master Magician. Magician introduced readers to Midkemia and the Riftwars, an epic series of battles between Good and Evil that have scarred this remarkable realm for generations. Now, after 29 books (authored and coauthored), Feist delivers the crowning achievement of his renowned best-selling career: Magician's End, the final chapter of the Chaoswar Saga and the climax of his extraordinary Riftwar Cycle.

An uneasy quiet has settled upon Midkemia in the wake of a surprise invasion. But the land is far from peaceful. Leaderless, the Kingdom is on the brink of anarchy and civil war, unless Hal conDoin, Duke of Crydee, and his brothers can rally their allies to crown a new king. They must move quickly, for war has left the land vulnerable to an agency of horrific destruction not of this world. No one is safe, not even the Star Elves whose city deep in the Grey Tower Mountains has come under attack by an ancient darkness that seeks to extinguish every living thing in Midkemia.

Yet the bravery of determined warriors - brothers in blood and arms - is not enough to ensure the Kingdom's preservation without the magic of the Master Sorcerer Pug. A powerful spell has trapped him, his son Magnus, and two unlikely allies in an unfamiliar realm, and they must find their separate ways home - a journey of memory and discovery that will illuminate the truth of the destiny that awaits them. But to save Midkemia - and everything he has fought for and all he cherishes - Pug will have to pay the ultimate price.

A breathtaking tale of elves and men, love and hate, ambition and sacrifice, intrigue and brotherhood, war and peace, Magician's End brilliantly captures the essence of life and the eternal struggle for survival. It is an extraordinary ending to the magnificent saga that has made award-winning Raymond E. Feist a legend.

Great end to a wonderful saga

John Meagher does an acceptable reading for this final series, though I would have preferred Peter Joyce for consistency.

A good Ending

A good ending to a beautiful story of majesty, magic and power stretching three decades

this series was one of the first fantasy book i read serious growing up. a gateway to an interesting genre.

A sublime ending

Wow, what a journey. For lovers of mystery and fantasy, the (current) end of Pug's journey through wars, gods, loves, deaths and more wraps up the stories in a very satisfactory way.

It's definitely a long journey, but as a wise man once said, the most important step a man can take is always the next one.

Not a stand alone tale

It took a bit of time to get into the story as it was years ago that I read the prior books in this series. There’s no recap or framing, the story just starts in and doesn’t pause. Otherwise, it was a nice finish.

Raymond E. Feist is a US author so there are quest

One of my pet peeves is when I start listening to a series by an author only to find out the content is only partially available. I notice missing volumes of mr. Feist work on the US website, the country he is from and yet when I checked the European websites of audible many of those volumes exist. Imagine a US company and a US author who’s content is nit available in his country of origins.

I’m not sure you agree of disagree but man wouldn’t it be great if Audible had our back and didn’t leave us in a position to have to jump from the middle of a story to the end.

Great ending to the series

though predictable in some areas the story had a pleasant ending. I have to say the performer really stepped up in this last book. I am sorry to say good bye to the characters I've been traveling with and will reread these one day definitely.

Great book to end a great series.

I've always loved the Magician books. This is no exception. Unfortunately they chose the wrong narrator. This book needed a strong, older reader or better yet a male and female team like gghe

Wow...

Dude. Actually cried at the end man. Raymond E Feist, thank you. Beautifully done. Thank you for all these years. I remember picking up that first copy of Magician:Apprentice at goodwill when I was like 10. Ashen-Shugar was one of my personal favorites. Thank you man.

Listen at x.9 speed

Great end to a very long adventure. Loved the book but was disappointed with the narrator for these final novels. I found that a lot of my irritation was alleviated when I slowed him down to X .9 and I would only remember when the end of chapters took a bit too long.

Not exactly a review, but

It's With Equal parts sorrow and happiness I finished the Magician's End. I loved how it all ended, but I am truly sorry to say good bye to all the characters I have followed for so many years. All left to say is; Good job, Mr Feist, good job!
