Trivia / The Riftwar Cycle

• Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: The cover blurbs for some editions of the books as well as some book reviews were clearly written by someone who didn't read the book.
  • One edition of A Darkness At Sethanon spoke of "the evil necromancer Macros the Black unleashing his undead hordes". Never mind that Macros The Black is a Merlin-style good guy^note  though he maintains his privacy by creating the fiction that he's an Evil Sorcerer, and apparently did it so well it worked on whoever wrote the back cover, not a necromancer and that while there are some undead in the story, there aren't HORDES of them.
  • Feist himself noted that one reviewer described Magician as "a typical fantasy novel where a boy saves the kingdom from an army of trolls". While the main protagonists, starting the books as boys in their early teens, are adults (at least by the standards of their kingdom) for most of the book and there are also only two trolls in the whole book - hardly an army, basically the only wrong thing is saying the army consists of trolls...
