Oh, I read... possibly all of these? I didn't recognize the Riftwar name, but then the first comment referencing Servant of the Empire just raised all the memories.
(brief trip to Wikipedia) - Aha, not remotely all of them. Looks like I bottomed out after the first three arcs/sub-series.
I wasn't super into the earlier books, the one I liked the best was The King's Buccaneer, plus the Servant of the Empire set.
I've been picking up some childhood books and discovering that they really don't catch me anymore - some are enjoyable enough that I'll keep them around anyway, but others I just need to let go. I tried The Black Cauldron, Lloyd Alexander, and The Squire's Tale, Gerald Morris, and both of them move way too fast and have very little connective tissue or character development. It's just one Event after another. Didn't used to bother me, but I'm no longer interested.
