I really love his books but I'll be the first to admit they aren't the most well written books ever or anything. They just seem to grab you and I just couldn't stop reading...

I also totally dig how characters grow during a book and during the different series... I definitely need to re-read those books and then read the other series he wrote as well...

If you've never heard of his books I just suggest starting with Magician: Apprentice and you'll probably be hooked in no time!

Magician: Apprentice is definitley on my reading list. I checked out the first chapter on Amazon and liked the prose. The protag's name rocks. Pug. How many fantasy heroes are named after such an awesome dog?:lol:

Do the various sagas connect to one another, or are they standalone?

It does connect. Although not always in a linear way or with the same characters but I would recommend reading them in their chronological order (story wise that is)

And trust me Magician is a great book.....

I've only read Faerie Tale, which was a good concept, but I wasn't impressed with the quality of the writing. That's why I haven't read any of his other stuff.

I do agree that his writing style isn't one of the highest quality but I would recommend giving magician a try...

I read Faerie Tale recently, good story to it so i'll be trying some of his others soon.

Twilights Fire- you are missing out on 3 GREAT Books here.
You absolutely need to read the 3 Books co-written by RE Feist & Janny Wurts:
-Daughter of the Empire
-Servant of the Empire
-Mistress of the Empire

These 3 tell the tale of the Riftwar from the other side of the Rift during the same timeframe. Absolutely brilliant stuff.
