Raymond Feist - Reading Order

[aliciaflorrick]

I've just started downloading some books for holiday and after enjoying Magician several years ago I thought I'd download some of his other books to read by the pool, but I'm confused by the fact that there are seem to be several different reading orders available and sometimes books aren't read in the order that they've been written.

This is the reading order I'm working from, does anyone know if it's correct or am I going to be mightily confused halfway through the list:

Magician
Silverthorn
A Darkness at Sethanon
Daughter of the Empire
Prince of Blood
Servant of the Empire
Mistress of the Empire

Thanks.

Daughter, Servant and Mistress are best read as a trilogy, but maybe after Magician, Silverthorn and Darkness to give better understanding of the underlying story. If I remember rightly, Prince of Blood is a stand alone. You've tempted me to read them again. Then there are more. Enjoy.

I wouldn't bother with any after the ones you have listed there, they got very "OMG the mortgage is due! Write something quick!"

Here's the order:

Magician
Silverthorn
A Darkness at Sethanon
Prince of the Blood
The king's Buccaneer
Shadow of a Dark Queen
Rise of A Merchant Prince
Rage of a Demon King
Shards of a Broken Crown
Krondor the Betrayal
Krondor the Assassins
Krondor: Tear of the Gods
Talon of the Silver Hawk
Kind of Foxes
Exiles Return
Flight of the Nighthawks
Into a Dark Realm
Wrath of a Mad God
Rides a Dread Legion
At the Gates of Darkness
A Kingdom Besieged
A Crown Imperilled

Ok, I'm nerd . The time lines do overlap because the books are from so many character's perspectives. Unfortunately, Pombear is right, the last few books have been really dissapointing. I keep reading though, I can't read that many books and not find out what happens in the end!

My favourites are Magician, Silverthorn, Sethanon and The King's Buccaneer. I also liked the ones with Eric as the main character, although I can't remember which those were, all the earlier books seem to have blended together in my head, into one very long story. Anything after Flight of The Nighthawks is a bit crap.
