Looking at the 2 book saga of Krondor's Sons, I'd say this book has more substance. Important to note- it should. Coming in 100ish more pages than The Prince of Blood, as well as relying on far more established character than Borric and Erlands adventure, The Kings Buccaneer has more working for it. At times this book felt bogged down by Nicholas's internal struggles that (for me) persisted a bit too long, but otherwise the book fares well. Feist is masterful at creating characters I care about, in a similar world, and this book is no different.
