Magician by Raymond E. Feist: Books that shaped my understanding of Fantasy.

There are books that are important to the genre of Fantasy in terms of impact, popularity, innovation, or even representation, others that are important to us. Magician by Raymond E Feist, is one of those books that I think is a great text to illustrate aspects of the genre but also one that I loved as a child.
The adventure of Pug, Arutha, and Tomas, started off the huge fantasy Riftwar series (well Riftwar Cycle... or Riftwar Saga... it has gone through a few rebranding exercises) made up of multiple mini-series and arcs, that blended classic Tolkien-esque fantasy with the modern desire for adventure fantasy, all with a gaming influence behind the scenes.

So this is just a short video discussing a few aspects of Magician that influenced me when I was younger and that inspired questions that ultimately sent me down the path of studying Fantasy as literature.
