Daughter of the Empire by Raymond E. Feist

These more recent perusals only confirmed my enjoyment of this series, as well as my love of Feist’s massive fantasy world. In recent years, I was lucky enough to find audiobook copies of the entire trilogy, and have since re-listened to it several times. Upon completing the first book, I also sought out the second and third books in the series in order to see how the fantastic storylines continued. I was immediately entranced by the story and read it several times in that semester, especially during the more boring classes. I had not previously attempted to read The Empire Trilogy before this point, but I eagerly dived into Daughter of the Empire when I got my copy from the school library. I was already very familiar with Feist’s massive fantasy universe, having read all the other books available in the series at that point, though in a somewhat eclectic order. I first came across this series during my school days, when I had to read Daughter of the Empire for a fantasy literature course (great book, terrible teacher).

This trilogy, made up of Daughter of the Empire, Servant of the Empire and Mistress of the Empire was written in collaboration with fellow fantasy author Janny Wurst and represents an intriguing piece of literature that shines not only as a side series to Feist’s first two books but also as a substantial and powerful standalone series. Feist’s legendary Riftwar Cycle is The Empire Trilogy, which serves as a fantastic companion series to his main body of work.
