Second Breakfast

I enjoyed Feist’s “Riftwar Saga” as a teenager. Typical heroic fantasy genre stuff, and there’s some aspects of Feist’s fantasy-writing that are a little formulaic, but its enjoyable writing and plotting. His “Midkemia” world has the feeling of something that got invented in some late-night D&D sessions, and it lacks some of the organic “wholeness” of some other fantasy authors (LeGuin for example).
This is actually the third series in Midkemia, and I can’t recall if I read the second set of books. There is a lot of continuity in the story between each of the series, but Feist does a good job of keeping things accessible enough that you don’t have to be a devotee to understand what’s happening and why.

Summarizing fantasy or sci-fi plots usually results in something silly-sounding, so read the Amazon page if you want details. But of the authors in this genre (Martin, Jordan, Brooks, Kay, and so on), I like Feist almost as much as Guy Kay, and certainly a lot more than Terry Brooks, who keeps writing the same book over and over.
