Awesome

Exciting books. I have not reread this one yet, but I remember it from about 5 years ago. RF is a great writer. If you like a good story that keeps you turning the page,choose him.

Great Book

No matter what other people say about Feist's latest book I would have to say he keeps true to his series. I think this book fills in some of the background for James and other characters. I played the game (Return to Krondor) and I found that the book filled in some gaps that the game left out. No matter what other people say this book is a 5 + star.

Loved every moment!!!

Just got done reading it. Feist makes you turn every page, I could'nt put it down. If you want proof I'll tell you that it only took me four days to read it, (of course its summer and I have nothing else to do.) Its a great book full of dark powers and magic, mystery, and great action. I recomened this book to any one that has read the two before it and the riftwat series. Enjoy!

Very good, but frustrating

I liked the book, surprised at how much he kept to the game's story line... Thought it was going to be different. At least with the book, they didn't keep dieing. (I could almost see it happening and then turn the page and they are alive, I Died a lot in the game... ;) ) Really Fast paced and I was left Screaming for more info. I REALLY want to know who the Crawler is and i want to know if Hilda is who i think she is... :) For those of you who read "shards of a broken crown" you'll know who i'm thinking of (Nakor and his strange idea) CAN'T Wait for the next one... hope we don't have to wait 2 years for it (has it been 2??)

Another excellent chapter in the Riftwar Legacy

Raymond E. Feist, one of the best fantasy authors writing today, does a superb job in Krondor Tear of the Gods, the 3rd installment in the Riftwar Legacy. This book covers the event covered in the PC Game Return to Krondor.The Tear of the Gods, the most powerful artifact of the Ishapian church that allows them to communicate with the gods, is sunk to the bottom of the sea when a powerful pirate named Bear tries to capture it. Aided by a mysterious magician named Sidi, Bear possesses godlike powers. Squire James, Jazhara (the new court mage of Krondor), Kendaric (a member of Krondor's Wrecker Guild), Brother Solon, and William must track down Bear, retrieve the Tear, and destroy the evil that has taken over the small town of Haldon's Head.Feist has added some interesting plot twists in this novelization of the game and has greatly expanded upon character depth that was originally present. By doing this, he avoided the walkthrough-like feel that was sometimes present in Krondor The Betrayal. Jazhara especially is discussed in far greater detail. William, Solon, and Kendaric are given more depth so that you care about them a lot more than you did when you played the computer game.If you haven't read any of Feist's books, I recommend starting with Magician: Master and Magician: Apprentice, the first two books in Feist's Riftwar series. You'll appreciate this book a lot more if you've read all the previous ones, even though it is a good read in its own right.The book is 372 pages long, but I read it all in one night since it was so good that I didn't want to stop reading it. A must-have for any fan of Feist.Even though this book is not due to be release in the US until March 2001, it is currently available in the UK and Australia. I purchased mine from Australia since I couldn't wait until March to read another of Feist's great books.
