Along with David Eddings, Raymond E. Feist was one of my first loves when it comes to Fantasy writing. They always used magic as a tool, rarely as a plot device and they avoided the long passages in Elvish that can make Tolkien so much of a chore. I may have always had a slight preference for Eddings, but my copies of Feist's original Riftwar trilogy are showing serious signs of use these days.
I may not have kept up with Feist's writing over the years, missing [[Talon of the Silver Hawk (Conclave of Shadows)|''The Conclave of Shadows Trilogy]]'', but there is enough familiarity in both style and characters to make me feel instantly back at home. Pug may have grown up and is now a grandfather, but he is still involved with important business and, as ever, the future of both his home worlds is at stake.
Following on from the opening part of the trilogy, the few remaining members of the Night Hawks are being taken care of. Meanwhile, the presence of the slumbering Talnoy is still causing concern and Pug speaks to the Oracle who advises him that he will need to travel to a separate plane of existence, one of the lower planes, to the Dasati world to figure out exactly why the Talnoy are there.
