Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J. K. Rowling

What else could I say that someone else would not have said at this point? It is Potter, it is good, and it is final. I am sad that it ends here, but I'm raising my glass to this brilliant author: To your great accomplishments, to the many hours of bewilderment and emotion you gave the world, and to your future works. I do hope you continue to write, by the way, even if it is not in the same universe anymore!

Into a Dark Realm, by Raymond E. Feist

Would it be fair to say: more of the same? You can always rely on Feist to put together a fun story, but there's a feeling of repetition here. For Pug fans like me, this is a bit of treat, but it is nothing like Magician. Characters get trained (get experience points?), go on a quest, get in trouble, get out of trouble, save someone. What is a bit interesting is the use of different "realms" of reality superimposed on each other in the story. Some of the characters band together to investigate a different realm to discover what lies behind a message that Pug from the future sent to Pug of the present. I'll keep on reading this "saga" because, as fluff goes, it is hard to get much better than this, but I don't have great expectations at this point.
