Raymond E. Feist best books, ranked

Editor’s note Start with Magician — in some editions split into Magician: Apprentice and Magician: Master — the opening of the Riftwar Cycle. The Empire Trilogy, written with Janny Wurts and set on the other side of the rift, rates as high as the best Riftwar books. Ratings slip in the later sagas.
