A solid ending to this first arc of the Riftwar stories. I really enjoyed re-reading these books, since I haven't in almost 30 years.
Yes there are tropes and characters that feel "80's" or old style fantasy, but as these were some of my earliest fantasy books I can still appreciate what Fiest is doing here.
Loved having Pug and Tomas back together again. Jimmy the Hand continues his growth as a character, bridging the worlds of the nobility and the criminal underworld. The siege and battle of Armengar was epic, right up there with some of my favorite fantasy battles ever. Also getting the world building of the gods before man came to Midkemia sets us up for the future of this world.
I initially only planned to re-read this first series, but now I want to revisit the trilogy with Janny Wurts as well as the Serpent War Saga!
