I mean, this is the young Jimmy right after he helps out Arutha back in the first books. By all rights, it ought to be a simple cashing in on one of the best characters in Feistland, and for the most part, it is. The novel reads episodic and pits Jimmy against his worst enemy -- himself -- as he uses his bump of trouble to uncover all kinds of bad situations where he must insert his catlike body. Sound good? It is, assuming you like teenaged thieves getting into trouble with women... or rather, because of women. But all told? It's just solid enough. Jimmy's other exploits are generally much, much more epic. Jimmy the Hand is the third and final book in the Legends of the Riftwar subseries that takes place during Feist’s original Magician novel. This one is co-written with S. M. Stirling. The story is set shortly after Jimmy and Arutha’s first encounter during Magician, starting right around the part where I liked this one much better than the last two books! Jimmy is one of my favorite characters, so it’s hardly surprising that I enjoyed a story featuring him, but I also really liked some of the other characters created for the story and I enjoyed the story itself. It was far more interesting to me than either of the previous two books and it held my attention from beginning to end. There are some pieces that seemed a bit too coincidental and/or too much of a stretch. These things might have been plausible within the context of the story, but they nevertheless stretched my belief a hair past the breaking point. My complaints were pretty minor things though, and I enjoyed the story overall. I don’t really think this subseries added anything critical to the main series, so one could skip it without missing out on anything important if it doesn’t sound appealing. Each book stands completely separate from the others in the subseries, so one could also just pick and choose the ones that sound interesting. I liked the first book reasonably well after its slow start, and I liked this one quite a lot, but I wouldn’t have minded missing the second one. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: Jimmy the Hand, boy thief of Krondor, lived in the shadows of the city. The sewers were his byways and a flea-ridden, rat-infested cellar his home. Although gifted beyond his peers, he was still but a nimble street urchin, a pickpocket with potential. Until the day he met Prince Arutha. Aiding the Prince in his rescue of Princess Anita from imprisonment by Duke Guy du Bas-Tyra, Jimmy runs afoul of Black Guy's secret police. Given the choice of disappearing on his own or in a weighted barrel at the bottom of Krondor's harbor, Jimmy flees the only home he's ever known, venturing south to the relatively safe haven of Land's End. Suspecting that the rural villagers have never encountered a lad with his talent and nose for finding wealth—other people's wealth—he's fairly optimistic about his broadening horizons. But Jimmy is completely unprepared for what greets him. For Land's End is home to others who tread the crooked path, and more, to a much darker secret: a dangerous presence unknown even to the local thieves and smugglers. And Jimmy's youthful bravado and courage will plunge him deep into the maw of chaos and even—if he isn't careful—death. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This one was fun, not quite up to the others, but I am determined to give all of them 5 stars on the re-read, damn the analytics. ( )
