Very highly recommended to any fan of fantasy! ![]() Regardless of the inevitable comparison, judged by its own merits, this book is excellent. And finally, this is the book where Feist starts to drag out smaller tales into whole books, as the storyline of Arutha’s quest to find the Silverthorn is really a self-contained story that doesn’t in itself lend much progression to the overall story-arc. Also, the nature of the conflict was much more clear in MAGICIAN than it is here, where the sense of coming danger is certainly real, but remains a real mystery throughout the book. Where MAGICIAN was so focused on the development and growth of the two young heroes Pug and Tomas, SILVERTHORN is really more of a classic fantasy quest where the characters are essentially the same at the end as they were at the beginning. The characters and the setting are for the most part already fairly well-developed, so you don’t get the excitement of being introduced to a whole new thing, but you do get the advantage of more story telling and less descriptive writing. Covering a much smaller time span, this book is shorter and less epic in feel. SILVERTHORN is different from MAGICIAN in quite a few ways. I remember being somewhat disappointed in this book the first time I read it as a kid (probably because I had expected it to have more of my favorite character, Tomas), but was happy to find that I really enjoyed it very much this time around. With so many people loving MAGICIAN so much, to the point of considering it as some of the all-time best fantasy, SILVERTHORN has always attracted highly-critical scrutiny, and has mostly been praised as a worthy follow-up. , this book presents a semi-autonomous epic in Feist’s popular fantasy realm that he has taken so far. , this book is best described as the first part of the second half of the Riftwar Saga. ![]() Picking up a few years after the close of ![]()
