I've read quite a few of his books. The are quite good.
I think my favorite book written by him would be The King's Buccaneer.

I may be wrong but didn't he write the Krondor stories? I'm pretty sure it is him. Loved them as much as his books.

yes, he wrote the Krondor trilogy. he made a lot of trilogys and sages. but actually, every book he made (besides his first books, about elfs) is about the same people.

His books are pretty good.
My particular favorite is the Empire trilogy, the one he wrote with Janny Wurts. Wonderful stuff, that. Couldn't stop reading.

I've read all his books, but my personal favourite will always be the original Magician which began the whole series.

I've read almost all of his work. He's my favorite fantasy author.
Just finished King of Foxes and it was a great read again. Can't wait for the next part in that series.
The only series I haven't read yet is the Empire Trilogy. Other then that I've read them all 
My favorite book would be either Magician or Darkness over Sethanon - although it's hard to pick "the best" book out of all of those jewels.
The 2 books I've had a bit of hard time finishing were Rise of a Merchant Prince and Murder in LaMut.
Not that they were bad or anything, just a bit different and not so enticing. (to me at least)
Right now I'm reading my first Terry Brooks book, the Sword of Shannara and it's *almost* as good as Feist. Almost
When I'm done I will read that small novel by Feist called The Woodboy. I wonder what that will be like.
EDIT: forgot about that book called Jimmy the Hand in the Krondor Series. Didn't get a chance to read that one yet either. But I will soon  |

The word you're looking for is grandchild. And the character's name is Jimmy the Hand, not Robbie.

In the Dutch translation the name Jimmy becomes Robbie. So you're kinda right 
But his original (English) name is indeed Jimmy like Val said.
Look on the first pages of any book (before the actual story begins) to see what the original title is.
It has helped me when discussing them in English forums like this |

@Neo: Actually, in the English version his name is spelled Erik. An alternative spelling of the name is Eric.

I just wish someone would get with him and do one more game from the series as well. I read a long time ago that Feist was willing, but Sierra had him tied up in legal bondage and it was not possible for him to go to another company. I think a new version would go over well.

There's no need to apologize. I was just letting you know since you weren't sure.
