It takes some serious skill and talent to read a book like this. Different voices for for the different characters, no stuttering or pauses. Great stuff
I have never been able to get into audiobooks. I just love reading the book myself so much. But this voice actor is brilliant. Separate voices for every character and never gets them mixed up. Absolutely brilliant
I read this series back when it first hit the shelves... Listening to it now, nearly 40 years later, really takes me back and it has aged very well. It's even better than I remember it.
As an aspiring sci fi novelist who hasn't read a new good book in a long time, I found this to be refreshing. It has helped me fall back in love with my favorite genre again
Hi there :) have you listened to/read The Second Apocalypse series by R Scott Bakker? The first book is called Prince of Nothing. It's like if you took all the works of Tolkien, the entire ASOIAF series, and some of the darkest eras of our own history, mixed them together and infused the resulting concoction with some weird mind altering substance that causes strange hallucinations and terrifying dreams. So violent, so epic, so freaking awesome. I highly, highly recommend the entire series for anyone exploring the darker and more obscure aspects of the fantasy sci fi genre :D Honestly, those books are up there with some of the strangest, darkest, and most epic works of fantasy fiction I have ever come across :D
I would love your opinion because I agree 100%. Did you feel there could have been more physical action? I thought that at times, but there was something about Magician that kept me curious regardless of lacking 'action' scenes.
For me it was Shadow of a Dark Queen from the Serpent War Saga, my Memaw used to own a shop at a flea market and after she passed I found it with some other books that I now treasure and let me tell ya I’ve read them too many times to count.
I read "Magician Apprentice" in 84. As a solid fan of fantasy, having already read all of Tolkiens works, i was searching for something of comparable quality, having found so many of the D&D offerings of the day to be lacking the depth i was searching for. Feist quickly found a fan in me and I've read the "RIFTWAR SAGA" countless times since the late 80`s. I'm glad to have found this so far. As we all do, when we read a book we hear our own interpretations of the voices of our favorite characters. So far, nothing has violated my historical sense of right. I hope everyone who listens to these stories finds the joy i found in reading them.
I might be speaking out of term, but "The Witcher", narrated by Peter Kenny is pretty good. This here somewhat reminds me of that. Just recommending is all.... Maybe "Sword of destiny", or "the last wish"..... "season of storms".
Same here, first read the book Magician:Apprentice while stationed in Manheim Germany, been loving the series and its additional series since.Always on the lookout for anything that Mr.Feist has written since I finished the first chapter of Magician in early 1990. Thanks for the audio series
I found this book by searching audiobooks. I’m so glad I decided to do that this story has grinning from ear to ear. 😩😩😩 as someone who doesn’t like reading books audiobooks are great for me
thank you very much for the reading. I do long distance driving trips all the time and I have had part one of this story playing on my last 2 trips. Very entertaining and helps to make the time bend away quickly.
Haven't read this in so long but it was one of my favourite series and it's great to hear it read so well, great work on all the voices. Many thanks for posting!
Yes me too - first read before I left school and my book was confiscated! Now I'm enjoying it again and it is bringing some joy in Lockdown 7 in Melbourne Australia. We support Mike Lindell, DJT, Rudy, Sidney and so many others fighting fighting fighting for USA freedom.
The rights to the story have been purchased and a tv series is in the works. This is one of the reasons I’m having such trouble getting permission to post the rest of the books. It will take time, but I think I can convince them that it is a good idea to get this story out as much as possible to help the ratings on the series. Wish me luck!
@@BardicKnowledge good luck and Thank you! I hope they do a true to the book series vs a hokie Hercules knock off. They did that with The Sword of Truth and the Elfstones of Shanarra
@@jima6545 ya nailed that! Goodkinds works are amazing. I’m about to post W1sR on here shortly to see if I get a copyright strike. A great series but incredibly poorly done. Outlander is probably my favorite book to Tv, but the art must be truly difficult for so many duds.
Thanks, I needed this big time. I've been home sick with a fever and listening to this throughout the night has made feeling like crap warmed over a whole lot more bearable. The audiobook, hands down has to be one of the greatest things ever produced by the internet
oh boy, do you have a saga ahead of you. Feist is unique in his style of historical/generational storytelling. The Demon War Saga is my personal favorite, but every stop along the way his something special going for it. All the way through the final entries.
My first time listening to an audio book and I can't think of a better book to listen to during my recovery. Absolutely perfect and loving it. Thank you
Waaaaahw the way you read this book is magnificent. With all the different voices it is a joy to listen to this book. Your voice is also really pleasant to hear. As a non native English speaker i could understand you very good, everything is well articulated. What a work! I can't begin to imagine how long it took you to bring it as well as you did...And, as a big fan, i would like to thank you for all the work you did and for giving me so many pleasant hours in that magical world!
@@hawksburyrider7616 I've been reading (and re-reading) Feist's books since high school in the early 90's. I'm lucky to have a job that allows me to listen to audiobooks all day and to finally have my fav series available?? Wow! I'm SO praying the next 5 books (at the very least) will be available on youtube as well
There are many overlooked books that could easily become successful film series or even tv series . David gemmel is one that I think would do well , David eddings also and finally I have great fondness for Steven Ericksons Malazans books of the fallen and all the other books that are linked with that universe .
I always come back to this book. It and Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings embody the tropes of fantasy to a T but rather than being tiresome they're done the blueprint such justice that they've stamped the gold standard for this type of formative coming of age fantasy. Well read!
Same, read all of Feist, Eddings and also Gemmell (plus others) many happy hours. I often find audio versions very flat but this is read incredibly. It has been many years since I read Magician but its amazing how much I actually remember. I will be looking for Silverthorn and A Darkness at Sethanon to listen to next 😊
In 1982 I was mainly enthralled with the works of David Gemmell and Terry Pratchett, this I missed somehow. Thoroughly enjoying the story and glad I missed it in 1982 as the new world, new story and new author are worth a new discovery. After listening to the introduction it makes me wonder how may great stories are ruined by publishing houses. Also, it is good to hear a story not blemished by modern notions being shoehorned into the tale, just because it is thought modern stories need an injection of modern "ideals" to make the story relevant. Great story, well written and worth a listen.
@@auricstorm Probably used the wrong word. I mean any modern behaviour, societal norms or political ideas. The author has created and described a believable medieval world and peoples. How medieval people thought and behaved is utterly alien to us today and so a modern thought or behaviour would stand out and not sit well in the world the author has created. It makes for a better and more believable storyline.
I really enjoy your voice. It spins out the story in such a wonderful way that the story is amazing! I love my copies of these books! To hear them come alive helps me do my job! ☺️
I read this book when I was 12-13... it must have only just been published; and remember that I enjoyed reading it. Here I am at 50 hearing it again... really cool!
Mannnnn......I really didnt want to admit it....but I love this damn story so far. My boyfriend has been bugging me to read it and going on and onnnnn about it for years now. I am stubborn tho....and would always roll my eyes and put it off. Rarely does anyone's "book suggestions" land for me. This one is the exception. I have an affection already for pug and the drake sounds alot like my cat yato. Now I'm gonna have to deal w his "I told you so" smirking forever. Siiiiigh .... Damn it. (Thank you for posting this btw. For us dyslexic folk.... these free audio book findings are everything.)
@@nataliehawkins7792 Silverthorn and A Darkness at Sethanon are the next two books. Magician is sometimes broken into two novels, Apprentice and Master for a four book Riftwar Saga, fyi
Wonderful to find this in audio. i reluctantly donated my entire collection of this series of 26 books to a bookstore which was most grateful. Thrilled to revisit this universe again
One of my favourite series from my youth and books handed down to me from my Mother bless her soul 🙏🏻💙she was an avid reader and the fantasy realms were here favourite genres 🙂
I first read the trilogy as a 23 yr old student way back in 2004, old paperbacks from the Glasgow public library. Work and life took over an i forgot all about them. Now 20 yrs later im about to dive in once more with this audiobook. The sheer nostalgia fueling the anticipation of reconnecting with this magical masterpiece
The opening comments were so welcome. I discovered these books some time in the 90’s and seriously enjoyed the read. I do remember being disappointed when, ummm, at one of the major events, and was about to reread the cycle when this came up. Reading is better, but this reader is very, very good 😁❤️🌿
I am a new reader and am excited to get started... I feel like the moments before a wildly good time on a rollercoaster when I was a kid. Alright HERE WEEE GOOOOoooo!!
This was epically read I'm so happy I found this book.. I listen to a lot of audiobooks n this is on the top tear for how it was read for us to enjoy. Tysm
This is of my all time favorite fantasy series I read years ago (surprisingly unknown but so many) - and have been seeking an audiobook version to revisit this tale and land - wonderful narrator and voice acting - thank you so much for posting!
I bought and read this book shortly after its publication; I've reread, and reread, and reread it over the years and then introduced it to my son who loved it as much as I did. Feist may have had no idea what he was doing, but he did it briliantly.
I’ve read this book so many times. I felt like he wrote himself into a few cul de sacs as the series progressed but it remained enjoyable. Thanks for uploading this.
@fred McMurray actually both of those things are a challenge at various points of life. As is completing a series consisting of well over 20 books. Your efforts to sound smart have fallen flat Im afraid
@fred McMurray 🤣 look at you go, you little book reader you 🤣 although it's still not working. Im glad you took the time to look at previous comments😏 time well spent it really drove your point home🥱
Hello Bard! Thank you for posting this. I love a good story. There's nothing quite like a good one; one you can fall into and don't want to climb out of. After reading the reviews, I'm optimistic that this is one of them. Take great care and keep sharing stories please!!!
I don't think he pronounced all the names right. For example Liam should be "Lee-um" but he pronounces it "Li-YAM", which can't be right. Also I think it's Cry-dee, not Cri-dee. And the old English Tomas is pronounced Tu-moss, instead of the modern Thomas "Tom-mus style. But I could be wrong. I think he pronounced Arutha right though, which is a tricky one. And I'm not sure about Rillanon, I put the emphasis on "Rill" "Rill-uh-non" and he pronounces it "rill-AN-on."
I’ve read this book countless times ,really enjoying listening in Audio form ,the reader’s voice and voices are very good ,thanks for the vid and please do more Feist , Gemmell and Jordan would also be great ,thanks again …Subscribed.
Was listening to this while looking elsewhere. It ends: "Perhaps you'd like to see my garden?" INCEPTION MUSIC!! I'm thinking this is going to be one hell of a garden. Fantastic work! Looking forward to listening to the rest.
Jimmy the hand BITCHES!!! I was about 11 when I was told to read this. My young mind went wild. I will never forget the images that formed 🤘🏻🤘🏻 rock on Raymond
I think it's a good idea you do the whole series. 2dozen books more or less Even feists newest trilogy couldn't help but connect them at the end. Beautifully done mate
Chapter 10 is just powerful. So many foreshadowing. So much weight. It's amazing. It feels like the story kind of shifted here. Or perhaps given a shadow of the main story. Idk it feels amazing
I gotta say I really appreciate everyone in the comment section being respectful and not spoiling any of it so everyone can enjoy it in the same manner.
End of the series not book the princesses gets put under a spell and then kills pug when she comes to her senses she kills herself. Tldr. don't piss off a warlock who knows where your girl eats.
It has been a long time since someone read me a story. I am most grateful to have this story as first. I just wish someone had split the chapters. 11hrs of listening is a bit much in one setting. Chapter 5 3:48:00 Chapter 9 8:09:11
Dont have to listen in one sitting. Unless you somehow mess your current playthrough up youtube will auto save your spot. I started this 4 days ago and I just now made it to pt2

I am a new reader and am excited to get started... I feel like the moments before a wildly good time on a rollercoaster when I was a kid. Alright HERE WEEE GOOOOoooo!!

Enjoy it. This is an outstanding series.
The Riftwar Saga, several books in sub-series, plus
Wurtz' *Daughter of the Empire* trilogy
@@bradmiller7486 This book series is the best I've ever listened to and the second trilogy is phenomenal too
Read this book in high school and then when I was in my 20’s so 20 plus years later here I am listening in pure joy!
This was epically read I'm so happy I found this book.. I listen to a lot of audiobooks n this is on the top tear for how it was read for us to enjoy. Tysm

This is of my all time favorite fantasy series I read years ago (surprisingly unknown but so many) - and have been seeking an audiobook version to revisit this tale and land - wonderful narrator and voice acting - thank you so much for posting!
Thanks so much for posting this. Ignore the thumbs down. Very good of you. ✌️
I bought and read this book shortly after its publication; I've reread, and reread, and reread it over the years and then introduced it to my son who loved it as much as I did. Feist may have had no idea what he was doing, but he did it briliantly.
I’m really enjoying this. I don’t know how I ever missed it. Thanks for sharing👍
The same for me. I passed it over several times on the audiobooks and then decided to try it. It is really, really good.
What a fantastic story! This listen was perfect on my long drive for work.
Outstanding books! Highly recommend all of them. I've read them several times over the years but now loving the audible versions too.
I meant to read this book many times, glad I came across this audiobook, the narrator is doing a good job I think
Like ice on a burn or a pair of comfy slippers on a cold morning. I love this book!
What a wonderful story. I'm so happy to come across it! 💕
I’ve read this book so many times. I felt like he wrote himself into a few cul de sacs as the series progressed but it remained enjoyable. Thanks for uploading this.
The beauty of this book is how the author builds the basics of magic in a logical manner.
this is a great story, well narrated, only a couple of editting mishaps and well worth the time! Enjoy! And thank you for posting it.
This narrator is good ! . Gives this story an extra dimension.
Glad this great audiobook has been uploaded I read this book in 2 days I just couldn't put it down. The whole series is excellent
AGREE 100%
Love and own this series, all of it❤ and Fairy Tales. Such a wonderful storyteller. The narration is awesome as well. Thank you.
The challenge is to read all the books! Proud to say I have completed this challenge :)
Hahaha I completed that 20 years ago I think
@@Vscustomprinting as have I. Have started again!
@fred McMurray actually both of those things are a challenge at various points of life. As is completing a series consisting of well over 20 books. Your efforts to sound smart have fallen flat Im afraid
@fred McMurray 🤣 look at you go, you little book reader you 🤣 although it's still not working. Im glad you took the time to look at previous comments😏 time well spent it really drove your point home🥱
I am grateful for audio narration of this wonderful experience of the book.thank you
Hello Bard! Thank you for posting this. I love a good story. There's nothing quite like a good one; one you can fall into and don't want to climb out of. After reading the reviews, I'm optimistic that this is one of them. Take great care and keep sharing stories please!!!
Seems like nothing ever happens throughout this book?
Thankyou for the upload this is my very favorite book of all time world building at its finest puts LOTR to shame
I have read every book in all of these series many many times.. great to hear how all the names were supposed to be pronounced
I agree 👍
I don't think he pronounced all the names right. For example Liam should be "Lee-um" but he pronounces it "Li-YAM", which can't be right. Also I think it's Cry-dee, not Cri-dee. And the old English Tomas is pronounced Tu-moss, instead of the modern Thomas "Tom-mus style. But I could be wrong. I think he pronounced Arutha right though, which is a tricky one. And I'm not sure about Rillanon, I put the emphasis on "Rill" "Rill-uh-non" and he pronounces it "rill-AN-on."
@@DerekMoore82 how about air-uhh-tha which should be Aroo-tha?
@@DerekMoore82 I think he got "Pug" just about right.
Respect for the reader 🫡
It starts off a story, then by hour 4 it's a mad poetic journey? It's brilliant!
Thanks for your art work to present this story in audio form! Enjoyed so much with imagination through listening.
I’ve read this book countless times ,really enjoying listening in Audio form ,the reader’s voice and voices are very good ,thanks for the vid and please do more Feist , Gemmell and Jordan would also be great ,thanks again …Subscribed.
Was listening to this while looking elsewhere. It ends: "Perhaps you'd like to see my garden?" INCEPTION MUSIC!! I'm thinking this is going to be one hell of a garden. Fantastic work! Looking forward to listening to the rest.
Thank you for this. I got through all 3 of these and you did an amazing job!!
thank you bard for bringing joy to our humdrum lives
Jimmy the hand BITCHES!!! I was about 11 when I was told to read this. My young mind went wild. I will never forget the images that formed 🤘🏻🤘🏻 rock on Raymond
The same thing for me👍
Yup, Jimmy the hand... one of the all time great characters...
Jimmy The Hand. The Artful Dodger on steroids.
One of the best readers I’ve ever heard!! Give it a 10!!
Wonderful story with awesome 😎 narration Loving this 📖 Huge thank you for the opportunity to hear something different KAZ 😁 Bedford 🇬🇧💜😘
Iv reread this book countless times, but it is so nice for someone else to read it to me 😊
I’ve never read this book but I’m loving this audio book so much!! I’m addicted to it!
Book begins at 10:32
I think it's a good idea you do the whole series. 2dozen books more or less
Even feists newest trilogy couldn't help but connect them at the end.
Beautifully done mate
i own this novel in multiple editions. so nice to have it narrated to me professionally.
fantastic reading, thank you. I loved reading this series
What a brilliant narrator. So few have the talent.
This series got me into reading. I am thankful that my mother want me to read these books. It's an all time favourite serie!
I hadn't read this in the past. Greatly enjoying it. Wonderful narration.
Bought this novel at a local Goodwill years ago and couldn’t remember what the name was. Thank you, now I can finish the story. 😁👊🏻
Thank you so much.. I 've read a book years ago , but your story telling is enchanting. Thank you.
Chapter 10 is just powerful. So many foreshadowing. So much weight. It's amazing. It feels like the story kind of shifted here. Or perhaps given a shadow of the main story. Idk it feels amazing
I gotta say I really appreciate everyone in the comment section being respectful and not spoiling any of it so everyone can enjoy it in the same manner.
Pug dies at the end.
Funny but I've already finished listening to this one
End of the series not book the princesses gets put under a spell and then kills pug when she comes to her senses she kills herself. Tldr. don't piss off a warlock who knows where your girl eats.

The butler did it!
This is one of my favorite books, thanks so much for sharing it.
The feist series is hands down the best series I've ever read.
It has been a long time since someone read me a story. I am most grateful to have this story as first.
I just wish someone had split the chapters. 11hrs of listening is a bit much in one setting.
Chapter 5 3:48:00
Chapter 9 8:09:11
Dont have to listen in one sitting. Unless you somehow mess your current playthrough up youtube will auto save your spot. I started this 4 days ago and I just now made it to pt2
YT marks it, or remember the time you stopped. If split up, what if last chapter deleted?
