Amazon.com reviews:

"At Crydee, a frontier outpost in the tranquil Kingdom of the Isles, an orphan boy, Pug, is apprenticed to a master magician and the destinies of two worlds are changed forever. Suddenly the peace of the Kingdom is destroyed as mysterious alien invaders swarm the land. Pug is swept up into the conflict but for him and his warrior friend, Tomas, an odyssey into the unknown has only just begun. Tomas will inherit a legacy of savage power from an ancient civilization. Pugs destiny is to lead him through a rift in the fabric of space and time to the mastery of the unimaginable powers of a strange new magic."

"FIVE STARS!!! This story is fantastic! It is amazing how Feist has created a world with a long and eventful history so unique to all other books written as fantasy. It is like Lord Of The Rings, but we get much more adventure and less exposition and endless dialogues."

"FIVE STARS! This is my favourite fantasy book. It is usually split into two books (Magician: Apprentice and Magician: Master), and follows the tale of Pug, whose dreams of riding off to war as a soldier are dashed when the only one who will take him on as an apprentice is an eccentric magician. His dreams then turn to becoming the world's most powerful magician. Whether you're a fantasy fan (and if you are, you have probably read this book) or a newcomer to the genre, this is a wonderful book. Enjoy!"
