Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Book was awesome
Review: This book surpased any fantasy book I have ever read in my life except Dragons of Summer Flame But this book is deffenately worth reading it was better than Magician and All the others. The End you guys suck

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my favourite books.
Review: Okay, it's not as good as Magician, but still, it is on of the best books that I've read. I read it a while ago, but is topped only by Magcian and Rage of a Demon King. It has flaws, but only minor, like the fact that there can be to much travelling, and not as much character devolepment as I would like, but it a great read! READ IT!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This is turning into a gimmick
Review: After thoroughly enjoying the first two books in the series, I found this something of a disappointment. If anyone has ever seen the children's cartoon "Once upon a Forest", they will understand how the theme of heroic band struggling to find a magic herb to save their friend may become tiring. I does manage to hold up the style from Magician, but the characters developed little from the first books. How you can get several series out of this concept is beyond me.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fine, well written piece of fantasy work
Review: Excellent and fascinating piece of work. Feist brings us again in ecstacy with this well written book. Although not matching the brilliance and innovating aspect of the first two books; magician;apprentice and master, it is still a comprehensible and suspensful piece of writing. The adventures of Puc and Arutha, together with the introduction of Robbie, takes this saga to a new and refreshing level. This saga is not over yet!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best!
Review: After the cannot-put-down Magician, Silverthorn is just as amazing. The characters are well-written you'll feel like they're your friends! Have you ever feel in love with a character in a book before? Well, here you will!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ABSOLUTY SUPURB.
Review: I cannot express enough on how good this book is. The characters are so real its as if you the reader & the character are as one..Just love James, Arutha & Pug... Cant wait for Darkness at Sethanon..

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My favorite book in the Magician series by far.
Review: I found this book ten times more enjoyable and interesting than the former two in the series, perhaps due to the fact that I was bored to death by the entire concept of the Tsurani. Silverthorn has much more emphasis on Midkemia, and I also found the concept of a small group of people braving dangers to find a rare herb much more appealing than an all out war with another world. I was also highly amused by the Gwali, and the battle with the warrior who cut out his own tongue was great fun. For those that shared my disinterest for the Tsurani, I reccomend spending the effort it takes to read through Magician: Master. It will seem worth the trouble when you read Silverthorn, and its follow-up, A Darkness at Sethanon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HARROWING ADVENTURE THAT'S WORTH READING
Review: This is certainly Feist's most exciting, if not his overall best work. I recommend it for everyone, everyone that is except feminists.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, but not great
Review: I did not enjoy this book as much as I did Magician or Darkness at Sethanon, but it was very good in its own right, with all of the characterization and action that I have come to expect from Feist.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatly Enjoyable
Review: As a fantasy fan, I look for numerous qualities in a fantasy story. Perhaps the most important quality in a work of fantasy fiction is characterization. A fantasy novel should contain believable characters who in some way or another remind the reader of him or herself, or of someone he or she may know. These characters must also have emotions, and cannot be completely stoical all the time. I have found these two qualities consistantly in Feist's works and congratulate him for it.
