Feist has been a massive influence on my writing, and one of the best fantasy authors of his age.
This is book 2 in the Serpentwar Saga but can be read as a standalone. (This can be a minus if you’re reading in order and wanting to main story arc to progress, but I found it charming.) Of all the novels I’ve read from him, this is by far my favorite. If you’ve never read a Feist novel, this is a great place to start.
Roo is a complex character that you can’t help but admire, even when he is being a total asshole. It you like economics and political intrigue, you’ll love this novel as he tries to become richest merchant in Midkemia.
