Media Reviews
Feist remains one of the most reliable practitioners of epic fantasy and it's well known that his legion of admirers have besieged him with requests for further entries in his best-loved saga, the Riftwar sequence. Clearly, the pressure was too much to resist, as Honoured Enemy inaugurates a new Legends of the Riftwar sequence, co-written with Forstchen (a less illustrious name). Hartraft's Marauders, an lite group of kingdom raiders, are happiest practising their speciality: infiltrating and wreaking havoc behind enemy lines. As the new book starts, they are en route for a frontier garrison. But so is a Tsurani patrol, with a mission to attack the same garrison. When the two groups discover that their objective has been overrun by a vicious horde of dark elves, they become reluctant allies in order to survive. As in earlier books, Feist's subject is the tension of shifting loyalties, with unwilling allies forced to choose between the lesser of two evils: the enemy fighting by their side. His prose is always blunt rather than poetic, but Feist and his co-writer know precisely what the genre requires in terms of colourful and ambitious world-building.
