I love novels based in fantasy. Raymond E. Fiest is great in this genre. The problem with fantasy is that rarely do you get away with only one book. In Fiest's Riftwar Saga you have to read three (or four) books to reach the end.
The series begins with Magician. I read the author's perferred edition which included rewrites of his previously published the Magician's Apprentice and the Magician's Master. The story is based in Midkemia and Kilwan - not of this world as you can see.
There we are intorduced to rich characters such as Pug, Thomas, Kulgan, Arutha and many more. As with any great fantasy there is royalty, wars, magic darves, elves, aliens from Kelwan and their strange animals, demons, dragons, and more.
Should you be a Tolkien purest there are points in theis book that might anger you. I see influences in several areas but I didn't mind.
Once you begin the ride with Magician - you must continue with Silverthorne and Darkness at Sethanan. These books are a blast to read with superhuman strength, magic and good that fights to prevail over evil.
Read these books!
