Feast of Souls (The Magister Trilogy #1) 
Have you ever made a flame dance upon a windowsill? he asks softly. Or called a lighting bug to your hand on a summers night?

No, sir, because those things bring death. And I do not mean to die.

At present, I would consider Martin and Friedman the best living authors of Fantasy. Both are capable of rendering deeply 3 dimensional characters, endearing them to the readers (and presumably themselves) and offering them to the rightful fates that their worlds require. That's no mean feat, when it's far more palatable to pad their worlds in the name of story-telling, keeping them in gilded adventures, with only a shadow of true risk.That's a beautiful thing.This book has many of CS Friedman's

This is a wonderful fast-paced fantasy book. It's dark in places and it's not saturated with sexuality or the usage of sexuality in order to play games with someone, either as a pawn or not. It's pretty refreshing, actually. Characters are believable and I hope for more characterization of some rather intriguing characters. While at some point the faint misogynist and acute misandrist perspectives can seem somewhat simplified in their roots and solutions, it carries the story well. Believable
DNF. The book isn't horrible, but I couldn't take the misandry in it anymore. Besides, the main character is terribly frustrating. Weirdly, this novel was written in 2007, this is stuff I would expect in 2018. I keep seeing female readers complaining about male writers drawing attention to female body parts/ bad representation and calling it sexist, but frankly I find self-loathing in regards to one's gender a tad more problematic and sexist. Yet I see nobody complain when 90% of female heroine

Terrible, terrible, terrible!I just don't understand all the rave reviews - on picking up this book I was under the impression it would make for a good fantasy read but I couldn't make myself get halfway through. So, you get a universe where witchery consumes the souls of female witches, while males can apparently become "Magisters", and thus use magic unlimitedly without making themselves die. At the same time, the prince Andovan is riddled by a terrible disease, and in the wake of some more

Description To Books Feast of Souls (The Magister Trilogy #1)
At the end of her bestselling Coldfire trilogy, C.S. Friedman challenged readers to imagine what a world would be like if sorcery required the ultimate sacrifice-that of life itself. Now, in Feast of Souls, she introduces us to a terrifying world in which the cost of magic is just that...in which the fuel for sorcery is the very fire of the human spirit, and those who hunger for magical power must pay for it with their lives. In this epic tale of nightmarish shadows and desperate hope, the greatest threat of all may not be that of ancient enemies returned, or ancient wars resumed, but of the darkness that lies within the hearts of men.Particularize Out Of Books Feast of Souls (The Magister Trilogy #1)
