Our view

“Krondor: The Assassins” is an entertaining return to Krondor for readers who already know Midkemia and its people. Some readers rate it above “Krondor: The Betrayal” and still enjoy Jimmy’s company, yet find the plot short, its events stiffly scripted and Prince Arutha given little to do. It is best suited to existing fans of Raymond E. Feist and his Midkemia.
