Why, did he develop talent at some point? I read the two volume version of Magician years ago. In the introduction, he talks about how he was made to condense it into a single volume for the original publication. When I was done reading the whole boring piece of bloat, I couldn't help but agree with the people who made him edit it down. I sure as hell couldn't be bothered to read the rest of the series after that.
But I can't say people never improve. I didn't find Robin Hobb's Assassin trilogy very engrossing, especially the last book where everyone's wandering around in the middle of nowhere doing nothing for chapter after chapter, but the Liveship Traders wasn't bad at all. And Lois McMaster Bujold's The Curse of Chalion was a million times better than her first attempt at fantasy, so I suppose Feist might have learned how to write since he un-edited Magician.
