Magician by Raymond E. Fiest, high fantasy, magnificent! Magician revolves around Pug, a young orphan that resides in the castle of Crydee, along the eastern coast of Midkemia, a medieval kingdom. Fourteen months are Pug is apprenticed to a master magician, Pug comes across something very strange, an alien ship broken up along the coast. When the Duke of Crydee forms a party to ride west to inform the king of the possible invasion, things go downhill. Tragedy strikes and Pug seems to be lost forever.
Magician is high fantasy at its greatest. With simplistic writing, keeping even young readers entranced in its deep storyline with immense detail used when describing different events within the story. Normally, high fantasy with increasing complex background stories and complicated magic don't appeal to me, as it takes a large degree of concentration to read them and focus on them, but this was not the case with Magician.
Although many, many years pass in Magician, many of them not delved deep in to during the book, we are able to capture a broad idea of what happens during the book, and I'd easily recommend the book to an avid reader as young as ten or eleven.
This is easily one of my favourite fantasy novels, possibly my most favourite. Awesome!
