  “Best of the three books. The story of Kevin and Mara is wonderful.”

  “Mara of Acoma, having vanquished a blood enemy previously, finds the son of the enemy a much more bitter enemy who wont rest until the House of Acoma is vanquished. With considerable upheaval in the High council, Mara has to play the game not just to ensure the existence of her house but of the empire also. Amidst all this, Mara falls in love passionately with a slave while at the same time harboring feelings for another Lord. How Mara manages all this is brilliantly captured in this book.
  
  As with Daughter of the Empire, Feist brings out his massive imagination at play in this book as well as contrasting the Midkemian and Tsuranian cultures. While a tad on the lengthier side and suffering from some uneven pacing in the middle, it is nevertheless a pulsating read and quite gripping.”

  “The entire Empire series was very well-conceived. The focus was not so much on the magic (as opposed to the Riftwar Saga), but rather on politics and psychology and a plot that twists delightfully up to the last moment.
  
  Very strong and rich characterization - you get to know the characters as if they were your next-door neighbors. Hmmm, you might even know them MORE than your next-door neighbors. ;-)
  
  Servant of the Empire is probably the best in the series. The irony in Mara and Kevin's relationship is all too real and all too human.”
