At first this were a really difficult read for me. I struggled to get into the book and yes thought at one stage why were I reading this? That being said.... the story behind the story is amazing. Its a story about finding and following your dreams. Just how far would you go to fulfill your dreams or legend?
Perhaps the translation is what bothered me but once you get past that, the story will really awaken you to a lot of possibilities.
A simple story with a great big message.
“When you’re following your personal legend, all of the universe conspires to help you achieve it."

As a big fan of Feist. I've read basically most if not all that there is. Faerie Tale felt to wonder a bit too far from Feist's normal style or subject matter. I did not like this book at all and couldn't finish it. ]]>
Such a great book from a really great author. I were reluctant to read this book since I weren't really into the whole fantasy thing. I were truly suprised! Its a real page turner, truly enjoyable book. Its much better than Terry Pratchet and an easier read than Tolkien. If you are not into fantasy, if you don't like it - then don't read anymore fantasy as this is one of the best there is. This book truly made me a fan of Raymond E. Feist. ]]>

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." — Marianne Williamson
