I also really like the way Gods, magic and interplanetary travel worked in the Raymond E Feist Universe (the main planet was midkemia?) permalink fedilink source parent [–] ZOSTED@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago This is my answer as well. It's not at all because the world [building] is so compelling -- there are better (well, crunchier) books out there for that -- but the recurring characters and settings and themes, make this series a total comfort to go back to every few years.
