Honored Enemy 5 stars

Rarely do I give a book of this type 5 stars, but an exception arises here that cannot go ignored.

Book #1 of a sub-series (#18 in the "alternative" reading order, which I am following). Feist has gone back to the original Rift War in this series and is allowing the reader an insight into unknown characters. Those behind the scenes in the original story. Those normal men, and women, who fought the war, who lost so much when the Tsurani came through the Rift. Original characters are mentioned/referred to and we also get a closer look at the Dark Elves and an inside view from the Tsurani. Both viewpoints that I appreciated.

Occurring 9 years into the war, the story follows a tough, tried and true mercenary group. Stuck behind enemy lines within the grasp of their new enemy and their ancient, previously uninvolved enemy, the Dark Elves. Surrounded by two unfriendly bands of enemies their choices are limited and there is only one that will get them across enemy lines back into The Kingdom.

As mentioned in all my reviews, I have a buddy I am reading with and that makes this all the more fun. IMO Fantasy books and buddy reads go hand in hand, make it all the more exciting and as I said fun. Thank you Aaron, I enjoy our time together.
