This wasn't entirely what I expected. However, what I had expected wasn't all that logical, so in a way, it kind of evens out.

I really relished this story. It was entertaining, and we got to witness a plethora of things on the hitherto unexplored side of Midkemia. Kaspar's growth wasn't always presented in the most gratifying manner for me, but overall, it was a satisfying experience. I took pleasure in the redemption arc. Maybe it was just something that Feist hadn't done before at this time. At least, I can't recall one in all the books by him that I had read prior to this one (which were also all published before this one). And I don't even consider the'redemption' of the POV character in Rise of a Merchant Prince in the subsequent book as an actual redemption since he continues his不良行为, it's just written a bit more subtly. And I'm still not convinced that the quartet wasn't ghostwritten based on Feist's outlines.

The ending of this book has also piqued my curiosity for the next trilogy. I'm now pondering whether I should read Flight of the Night Hawks left or finish some books that I put on hold a while ago first. I suppose I'll make a choice soon.

Was this the best Feist book I've read? No, Magician still holds that position.

The Empire Trilogy too, but that's co-authored with Janny Wurts, and it's difficult to determine who came up with what for a significant portion of it, even if some parts are reasonably clear. So I don't include that in this list :D

But after the setback that was The Serpent War Saga, I'm glad that I'm enjoying the series again and eager to finish it. I feel as if I can now breeze through the rest of the Riftwar Cycle. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will remain true.

This book is quite similar to Feist's 'Rise of a Merchant Prince'. In fact, if you are anticipating a direct continuation of the story from the previous book, you will be extremely disappointed. However, if you have an idea of what to expect, it can be a much more enjoyable read.

'Exile's Return' departs from following the protagonist of the previous two books and instead focuses on the antagonist after his defeat. I had a hard time sympathizing with a character whom I had spent two books learning to hate. It was only after taking a break from the book that I started to enjoy it.

The storyline definitely gains momentum as the plot becomes clearer. Feist delves into some of his more complex overarching storylines involving the Gods and some old favorite characters. But above all, this story is about setting the stage for the next series of books in Midkemia and highlighting the severity of the new threat.

Overall, while 'Exile's Return' may not be the direct continuation some readers were hoping for, it still offers an engaging and thought-provoking read that sets the stage for what is to come in the Midkemia series.

When I first started reading, I wondered where the story was going, especially after the last two books. However, this installment definitely sets up the scene going forward.

It has piqued my curiosity and left me eager to find out what will happen next. The author has done a great job of laying the groundwork for what is to come, and I can't wait to read on and see how the plot unfolds.

Each page seems to hold a new clue or hint, drawing me further into the story. I'm excited to embark on this literary journey and discover all the secrets and surprises that await.

Whether it's a thrilling adventure, a heartwarming romance, or a thought-provoking mystery, I'm confident that this book will not disappoint.

Magician was my very first foray into the world of paranormal fantasy.

From the moment I started reading, I was completely smitten and, as the saying goes, the rest is history.

I own every single book in this remarkable series, and although they are so old that the pages have turned yellow, that丝毫 doesn't deter me from rereading them time and time again.

Raymond E Feist is truly an author like no other.

His ability to create vivid and engaging worlds, along with complex and relatable characters, is simply outstanding.

If you haven't already, do yourself a huge favour and get stuck into this series right now.

You will absolutely fall in love with Pug and his fascinating journey through life, as well as the many other wonderful characters in the spin-off books.

Trust me, once you start, you won't be able to put them down.

So what are you waiting for? Dive in and discover the magic for yourself!

**"Toujours aussi addictif"**

Video games have always been a source of entertainment that can be highly addictive. The phrase "Toujours aussi addictif" means "always just as addictive" in French. This emphasizes the ongoing nature of the addictive quality of certain activities or substances.

In the world of video games, there are many elements that contribute to their addictiveness. The immersive graphics, engaging storylines, and challenging gameplay can all draw players in and keep them coming back for more. Some games even have features like in-game rewards and achievements that are designed to keep players hooked.

However, the addictive nature of video games can also have negative consequences. Spending too much time playing games can lead to neglect of other important aspects of life, such as school, work, and relationships. It can also cause physical problems like eye strain and back pain.

It is important for players to be aware of the potential for addiction and to take steps to manage their gaming habits. This might include setting limits on the amount of time spent playing, taking breaks regularly, and making sure to prioritize other aspects of life. By being responsible and self-aware, players can enjoy the entertainment value of video games while still maintaining a healthy balance.

I have perused nearly all of Feist's numerous novels that are set in Midkemia, and I have discovered that the majority of them are either good or very good.

As long as one skips the "Krondor:...." trilogy, they are on safe ground. This particular book is advertised as the final installment in the Conclave of Shadows trilogy, yet it reads as a rather independent novel compared to the first two, as Talwin Hawkins has only a minor role.

What makes it interesting is that this story is told from the perspective of the villain in the first two novels. It almost reads like a travelogue through the first dozen books, with references to nearly every major battle and event from the past.

The story itself is quite good, although the redemption of Kaspar lags a bit. In the end, the book mainly functions as a setup for the next trilogy, of which at least two books are already available. Onward to the future!

I had no inkling that this trilogy would branch out into more books from other "series", nor did I know that there are books that precede this trilogy.

I am really fond of this concept, as I have developed a great affection for this world and its characters. I just wish I had known earlier so that I could have already requested the next book from the library. ;)

I earnestly hope that the next installment picks up precisely where this one left off.

I must admit that initially, I was a bit let down when I swiftly discovered that the entire book would be told from the point of view of Kaspar. Nevertheless, as I delved deeper, I grew to love it regardless.

It's truly remarkable how a story can take unexpected turns and still manage to captivate the reader's heart. I can't wait to see what adventures lie ahead in the next book.

Looking forward to the next.

The anticipation for what lies ahead is always an exciting feeling. It fills us with hope and a sense of possibility. Whether it's the next adventure, the next achievement, or the next opportunity, we eagerly await what is to come.

The future holds countless mysteries and surprises, and it is this element of the unknown that makes us look forward with such anticipation. We can imagine all the wonderful things that might happen and set our goals and dreams accordingly.

As we look forward to the next, we also reflect on the past and learn from our experiences. We use what we have learned to better prepare ourselves for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

In conclusion, looking forward to the next is an essential part of our lives. It gives us the motivation to keep moving forward and the courage to face whatever comes our way. So let's embrace the future with open arms and look forward to all the amazing things that are yet to come.

Exile’s Return is classified as the third installment in the Conclave of Shadows trilogy, which is a subseries within Feist’s extensive Riftwar Cycle. In contrast to his other subseries, this particular book did not bring the ongoing storyline to a distinct conclusion. Instead, it concluded not precisely with a cliffhanger, but rather with a looming (albeit not entirely unexpected) problem that was disclosed right at the end of the book, along with a significant unresolved mission.

For the most part, I relished this story just as much as the previous two in the trilogy, despite the fact that it truly deviated onto a different path. The second book had neatly wrapped up the main narrative surrounding the central character of the first two books, and this book features a different main character. We have some reasons not to be overly fond of this new character. He isn't an entirely unsympathetic figure, but I didn't develop as much of an affinity for him.

I found the story to be quite interesting. It commenced as something that I liked and that was narrated well, yet I wasn't certain if I desired an entire book dedicated to it. Before I could grow weary of that, things took a slightly stranger turn, even becoming a tad creepy for a brief period, and my interest piqued. Subsequently, we began to understand how that fit into the larger picture, and that was interesting as well. Moreover, there was some engaging action towards the end.

I wasn't entirely prepared for the incomplete nature of the story, especially after all the previous subseries had concluded more definitively. For me, it's not a major issue since I'm reading the entire series more or less all at once, typically with just a single-book break between each subseries. Nevertheless, it left me undecided as to whether to take my customary between-subseries break after this book or to leap directly into the next subseries while I still have the momentum. I ultimately decided to take my break anyway, but I'll select one of the shortest standalone books on my list. If I had the opportunity to do it over again, I would have taken the break after the second book and then proceeded directly from this book to the next subseries. There are only three subseries remaining, and I'm curious if the next two will both conclude in a similar fashion. Hopefully, the last one won't! The title of the very last book indeed sounds final.

A good book to read.


You are embarking on a captivating journey as you turn the pages of this remarkable book. The story takes you along with the main character on an adventure that keeps you on the edge of your seat, constantly wondering if he will succeed. He finds himself in a web of trouble, not only for himself but also for his friends. Along the way, he encounters a strange robot and discovers a chest of gold. Little does he know that this is just the beginning of a series of misfortunes that will plague him and those around him. The author has done an excellent job of creating a thrilling and engaging narrative that will keep you hooked from start to finish.

A great final 3rd instalment!


This final part of the series is truly remarkable. Although it doesn't have the same breakneck pace as the previous two installments, it still manages to be an excellent read. The slower movement actually allows for a deeper exploration of the characters and their motives. There are some truly profound philosophical ideas buried within the story, which add an extra layer of depth and meaning. I still highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good adventure with a touch of intellectual stimulation. It's a fitting conclusion to a great series and one that will stay with you long after you've turned the final page.
