Krondor: Tear of the Gods (The Riftwar Legacy) 
asked by alec on November 20, 2006 9:11 PM
The vile sorcerer Sidi plans to strike the kingdom a fatal blow, setting the murderous pirate Bear upon the high seas in pursuit of the vessel that is transporting Midkemia's most holy object; the Tear of the Gods. From this miraculous stone all magic power is believed to flow. And if the Tear becomes the mage's trinket, the future will hold only terror, death and unending night. For Squire James, Lieutenant William, and the able magician Jazhara, the race is on to rescue the remarkable artifact. For all manner of dark creatures are gathering with one unspeakable purpose: to breed the chaos that will hasten the destruction of Squire James and his brave companions . . . and bring about the total corruption of the Tear of the Gods.

Has to win the award for most inane "artifact-that-is-vital-to-the-world". Come on! We already did this before. The heroes shouldn't have to defend/recover another stupid artifact. Lame. And I love this world.

Personally I love Feist's epics. Having played the computer game (Krondor) and read every single book available in paperback, I'm dismayed by "fans" who find fault. Maybe I'm too forgiving? But what is important to me is that the world Raymond writes about, lives on. To my mind, that is all that is important! I can NEVER get enough!
The only reason I rate this book as a four-star is because he has written such wonderful tales before. Consider it a 'curve' grading, yes, he has done better in the past and present! But no library of Feist's fantasy would be complete without it!!!
