      This was probably one of the most enjoyable Raymond E Feist books I have read so far. I loved Borric and Erland - they were fun characters who liked mischief. I also rather enjoyed the plot that came with them. A very good read!
    • 4/5
      From memories of earlier reads of this particular book, I wasn't sure that I would enjoy it but I actually found it rather interesting.Unlike most of the books in this series, it's fairly light on the fantasy elements but it introduces us to the Empire of Great Kesh, the Kingdom's greatest rival on the occurrence of the current Empress's anniversary celebrations. We have some common characters from earlier books - Jimmy the Hand has, ah, matured in Baron James, a member of the Prince of Krondor's Court and has been tasked to make Prince Arutha's twin eldest sons men rather than the spoilt children they'd somehow managed to become. Along the way, the Krondorian party travel to Stardock where they take advice from Cousin Pug and while there, James is introduced to Gamina, Pug's adopted daughter and they find they are soul-mates so the party expands as James and Gamina are married. On the way down there, the party is attacked by supposed bandits, after Borric had already survived an assassination attempt back in Krondor. The party is separated and while the main party goes on to Inner Kesh Borric finds himself on the way to the slave pens in Durbin.As stated above, the fantasy elements are practically non-existent but the elements set in Krondor, especially the football match, and the assassination attempt were good, and I quite enjoyed the bits set in Durban and the palace in Kesh so overall I have to say that I quite enjoyed.
    • 4/5
      A great in-between series book starring Erland and Borric along with Nakor. Typically solid work from Feist.
    • 4/5
      Among my favorite authors for compelling characters.

      Weer een deel uit deze sage uit. Jammer dat er zo'n groot tijdsverschil zit tussen dit boek en [b:Duisternis over Sethanon|17789928|Duisternis over Sethanon (De oorlog van de Grote Scheuring, #3)|Raymond E. Feist|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png|15940], namelijk 18 jaar. 18 Jaar waarin veel gebeurt schijnt te zijn, waar we nu nog geen weet van hebben. Tenzij het in een van de nog te lezen boeken nog ter sprake komt.

      De tweeling, Borric en Erland, van prins Arutha zijn in het begin niets meer dan een stelletje lastposten. Ze nemen het niet zo nauw met hun vaders opdrachten. Om hen in bedwang te houden, stuurt Arutha op een diplomatieke missie naar Kesh. Na een vechtpartij in een zandstorm verliezen de tweeling elkaar uit het oog. Erland denkt dat zijn broer dood is, maar later blijkt dat hij gevangen is genomen door een slavenhandelaar. Borland doet er alles aan om te ontsnappen en met hulp van een huurling, een bedelaarsjongen en Nakur, een Isalanische oplichter en magiër, lukt het uiteindelijk om in het Keizerlijke kasteel te komen.

      Dit boek bevat de nodige intriges, magie etc. Helaas dit keer geen draken :(.

      Jammer van de twee doden, op zijn minst had Borric een staatsbegrafenis kunnen regelen voor de bedelaarsjongen Suli Abdul, die tijdens een gevecht voor hem stierf.

      Op naar het volgende deel

      I liked this, but wished there was more of Arutha and less of his sons, who I didn't like so much.

      Good continuation.

      This is a bridge book. It is set in Midkemia, and mostly concerns the Kingdom, as did the Riftwar trilogy. However, this is about the next generation of Kingdom rulers and their companions. It expands what we know about Midkemia and its people, and sets the stage for the next trilogy, along with the book that follows. I liked it, and it stands well on its own.

      Prince of the Blood is an action / adventure / coming of age story. It follows the princes Borric and Erland as they are sent to the court of Kesh for the imperial jubilee. Along the way there is an attempt on their lives where Borric is separated from the group. Eventually they meet back up in Kesh after many trials and figure the whole mess out. The novel itself is engrossing and kept me very involved. I usually do not like coming of age stories, but this one did not bug me as much as other ones, since it was not focusing as a coming of age novel, and rather had that theme more half hazardly thrown in as an afterthought. Which unfortunately is how the book is ended, half hazard and as an afterthought. Everything is just wrapped up in a bow within a chapter or two of pages. The author should have easily taken another 100 pages to find a creative and less run of the mill way to end the book. That is the main knock I have against this book. Other than the ending this book decent read.

      Prince of the Blood is part one of a two part set, in Feist's world of Midkimia. This story takes place some years after the end of the Rift War and Arutha's twin sons are the main characters.Someone wants to start a war between the Kingdom and Kesh and the easiest way to do so, it seems, would be to eliminate one or both of the Arutha's sons. I enjoyed this book quite a bit and unlike most of Feist's Midkimia books this one was more of a who-dun-it. Since I like mysteries as well I thought it was a nice change from the rest.
