To Find out what happend to Erik and Roo READ the Book!!! I thought that this book was well written and I believe that it is a great start to a new Saga By Raymond E. Feist. This Book brings back some old and Favorite characters of ours such as Calis, Pug, Nakor, James and Gamina. This is a great series!! As a matter of fact this was the first book that I ever read by Raymond E. Feist, so therefore it holds a special place in my heart. So even if you haven't read the Rift War Saga, you can read these books First, though I recomend that you try the Rift War Saga first.
