I recently pulled my Feist books off the shelf to re-read them since it had been 13 or so years since I last touched them. I'd read the Riftwar Saga (MA, MM, Silverthorn, aDaS) and Krondor's Sons (PotB & tKB).

This morning I started aDaS and remembered hearing that some of the later books Feist wrote actually take place before some of the others. I looked this up at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_E._Feist ) and saw a mention that the Darkwar Saga covered the "3rd Riftwar". Which books (if any) cover the 2nd Riftwar? Is the 2nd Riftwar also the Serpentwar?

Oh never heard them refered as that before, but the second riftwar must be the Serpent war.
Unless the riftwar saga was the second,
I'm a bit fuzzy on detail because I haven't revisted Magican in ages..but when Milamber had his vision on the tower part of that were humans escaping through the rift

I imagine that through the chronological order, Wiki has these labels:

1st Riftwar = Magician, Silverthorn, A Darkness at Sethanon

2nd Riftwar = Serpentwar (Shadow of a Dark Queen; Rise of a Merchant Prince; Rage of a Demon King; Shards of a Broken Crown)

3rd Riftwar = Darkwar (Flight of the Nighthawks; Into a Dark Realm (unreleased); Magicians Son's (unreleased, obviously)




There's no wars where enemies are coming through rifts in the other series (legacy of the riftwar, krondor series, and conclave)


Hope that clears it up.

I read a post by Raymond Feist yesterday in alt.books.raymond-feist. It was from 1999. Apparently there are five riftwars.

I couldn't post a link to the exact newgroup listing, but if you go to google groups, move to alt.books.raymond-feist and search for "five riftwars" it should be the first result listed.

Here's a quote from that post:

The first one was called. . . ta dah! The Riftwar.

The Serpentwar was actually the 2nd Riftwar.

That mess in between with Murmandamus (Silverthorn/Darkness) was called
The Great Uprising and is told in the Riftwar Saga.

Riftwar three was important, but relatively brief. Riftwar four was longer, but not so important. Riftwar five was very short, but VERY important.
