Frodo was so weak... He wasn't really instrumental. I don't understand why everyone thinks hes such a good character... couldn't even throw the damn ring in the fire. Sad really

Which one is the Krondor saga? Are you talking about Krondor: The Betrayal and Krondor: Tear of The Gods? If so, I thought they were fairly rubbish. No new original ideas.

Definitely The Riftwar Saga and The Serpentwar Saga and The Empire Saga are my favourites. I read through the whole lot about 6 or 7 times, but now I stop reading before Shards of a Broken Crown. I think he gets a bit lost there.

I've been reading the Conclave of Shadows over the past couple of weeks. Its good, but still nowhere near as good as his earlier stuff.

If you enjoy Feist, then I'm sure you'll really enjoy George R. R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice series.

As one who is addicted to playing Elven Rangers (Archer style) in any roleplaying scenario, Legolas is probably my favorite. I'm actually reading "Lord of the Rings" right now. I am working on my own piece of fantasy fiction right now, but Tolkien really humbles me.
