Product Description

Review

A largely undistinguished but competently wrought sword-and-sorcery sequel to Magician (1982). With planet Midkemia at peace following the defeat and assimilation of interdimensional invaders, the Tsurani, stalwart Prince Arutha will wed the fair Anita. But already new troubles are brewing, in the form of a coalition of evil-doers inspired by the mysterious, powerful sorcerer Murmandamus. (His zombie-like slaves are unkillable and must be burned or have their hearts chopped out.) A poisoned crossbow bolt meant for Arutha strikes Anita instead; so, as the lady lies in a magical coma, Arutha and friends must quest for a cure, namely the semi-mythical silverthorn plant which only grows in the heart of enemy territory. Meanwhile, Tsurani-trained magician Pug, needing some high-voltage help to discover who Munnandamus is, the source of his godlike powers, and a means to defeat him, travels to the Tsurani world, where he's sheltered by a long-lost colony of Midkemian elves in their city beneath the polar ice. Workmanlike doings, modestly appealing characters, and a more thoughtful array of evil beasties and bad guys than before: a notch above average overall, and an improvement on the chaotic, overlong Magician. (Kirkus Reviews)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good addition to the series...., May 14 2004
By Brian Siegel (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Silverthorn (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the 3rd book in this most excellent series. First of all I would like to say that this book splits it's time between following Prince Arutha on his quest for Silverhorn and Pug and his search for answers about the danger they face. As with the other books in the series the story grips you and the action is plenty. I would say that Arutha's quest for Silverthorn is almost like a side quest in terms of the whole plot. It does help to introduce new aspects of the plot and it also has young Jimmy the Hand in the spotlight. I like how his character is developing. I also hope that his relationship with the "Upright Man" is further explored in later books. The one main gripe I have is how easy this books' main bad-guy was dispatched. You are made to believe that he is much more powerfull then he turns out to be. Everything is always wrapped up in a neat package at the end. Would not be so bad to see a good guy get his head kicked in (Lyam????)from time to time. Having said that I ordered the 4th book in the series within hours of finishing this.

5.0 out of 5 stars evil force growing [no spoilers], Feb 20 2004
By Oscar "DaRK KNighT" (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Silverthorn (Mass Market Paperback)
"Silverthorn" is the gripping third volume in the Riftwar Saga. A new tale unfolds in the realm explored from the first two novels with first-rate characters Prince Arutha and Pug, aka Milamber. While Prince Arutha and his band seek out the mystic herb of Silverthorn to save a loved one, Pug and his party search for the answers to the menace behind the deed. New and exciting characters arise and extra races are developed while minor loose threads from the previous novels are tied up nicely. The author conveys the magic invoked brilliantly, placing the reader in the middle of the conflicts creating a definite classic. Some of the battles are absolutely spooky.

I had an excellent time reading the book after all these years and highly recommend the series to any fan of the fantasy genre.

Thank you.
