He's a very good writer, but he spends the lives of his characters a little to easily IMO

I would have to agree with Legolas on this one.

Also, I prefer his first books to the latest ones. In the latest ones, while they still have lots of merit, arnet as enjoyable as the others.

Actually thats one of the things I like about his writing, he doesnt shirk at killing of a charachter if the plot calls for it. Makes it much more realistic IMO.
Plus...yes he is my favourite author

I like his character developement found thru his many books. Each book is as pleasurable to read as the previous book.

I agree with Azure on this. Nothing is more borring then a writer who uses the same characters through out the intire series. (*cough...Jordan...*cough) At least Feist keeps things unpredictable by killing of main characters from time to time, and letting his books take place over longer periods of time.

The first 2 books were a lot of fun but he went downhill after that. Although I actually like his kelewan sries better than the krondor series...but then I like the politics and such [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Hmmm, I have to disagree with you on that, I found the first two to be the least interesting. Mostly because of the main characters. Pug and Thomas ascended to semi-godhood too fast, and in the end they just wielded too much power to keep the plot interesting. In his later books he uses characters who are more down-to-earth, if only a little bit stronger or more intelligent than your average guy. Well, except for Caelis maybe, but he was mostly in the background.

Personally I loved the riftwar saga, but i thought most of the last series with the lizardmen was a load of crap, it had some good points, but it wasn't enough to make me want to buy them, much less read them more than once, but I loved Faerie Tale, IMO it's his best book.
