Our view

“Shards of a Broken Crown” closes the “Serpentwar Saga” on a military campaign that some readers find gripping from start to finish. Others find the pace hurried, as though loose ends were being tied up fast and hooks set for later series, and feel that some of the old guard act unlike themselves. The fourth and final volume, the twelfth book of Feist’s “Riftwar Cycle”, gives familiar figures plenty of room.
