Recommended by Chris Hoskins



As a fan of fantasy literature, I have enjoyed Feist's Midkemia stories for many years.



Beginning with Magician, his books span generations of the powers of order and chaos. These are action-packed tales of high magic and adventure - just perfect for a fun read on holiday!


Into a Dark Realm is the second book of his latest series, and perhaps the best compliment I can give him is that it is always frustrating to wait a while for the next volume to be published; it is expected some time next year, so I am trying to read this one slowly. Without much success.
