Krondor the Betrayal:: Book One of the Riftwar Legacy by Raymond E. Feist
3.0
I am reading this is more of a publication order. So this falls a lot further back in the time line with characters like Jimmy, Arutha and Locky. It was nice to go back in time to visit some characters at this part of their journey. James and Locky still only squires. There is some mention of the Empire and the Acoma that helps illustrate the timeline.
It holds up mostly because my interest in the characters. I have gotten used to the tangled webs and intrigue in a way that Feist writes, but this one is a lot more of a straight line. It feels like the characters opened their own choose your own adventure books to follow their quest lines. While it is not bad, I feel like it is missing something.
While this and the set of books it falls in are more side story and possibly not necessary to read for the main story it is a nice side trip so far. It seems some of the reference of adventures from characters during the Serpentwar Saga is what will be found in this Riftwar Legacy set of books.
