Magician's End by Raymond E. Feist
1.0
There was no goddamn way the end of the Riftwar series was ever going to be worth the dozens of novels cranked out in the process of getting here (of which some 20 can be regarded as "core" novels which deal with main plot stuff, rather than optional side stories), but wow, does this end destination suck.
There's something to be said for the idea that "it's about the journey, not the destination", of course - but the journey to get here was formulaic, repetitive, often kind of sexist, and generally rather bland and unoriginal. The destination itself is much the same. Feist could have just knocked this one out after the Serpentwar Saga and saved us all a lot of time.
