Summary

The whole of the magnificent Riftwar Cycle by best-selling author Raymond E. Feist, master of magic and adventure, now available in ebook.

For nearly a year peace reigned in the enchanted kingdom of Rillanon. But new challenges awaited Arutha, the Prince of Krondor, when Jimmy the Hand - the youngest thief in the Guild of Mockers - came upon a sinister Nighthawk poised to assassinate him.

What evil power raises the dead and makes corpses do battle with the living at the behest of the Guild of Death? And what high magic can defeat it?

Meanwhile, a life-or-death quest must be undertaken to find an antidote to a poison that fells a beautiful princess on her wedding day…

Silverthorn is the second book in the Riftwar Saga. The trilogy concludes with book three, .

As Good As Good As I Remembered

I've read the Rift War books many times over the past 20 years and was worried that a narrator wouldn't match my memory. I had nothing to fear, other than some random pauses which must have happened as part of the mastering process the story was well told.
The story is a proper adventure/quest tale which is well paced and an excellent if too short follow up to Magician. It also sets the scene perfectly for the climax in Darkness at Sethanon.

Great book

only one negative - bizarre pronunciations on some names, but didn't detract from a rivetting story.

it's a great second in the series book

the character development of the nook focuses on different characters to the original book (magician) and so the series widens.

Audio errors

Repeating chapters, mispronounced names and words. Story is epic but these errors detract from being immersed

Needs editing

Unfortunately this recording - as others have said, has episodes that repeat. It’s a shame and needs editing.
However, I still enjoyed it, and I love this series, but I wish Feist would find a synonym for “said”!!

Great story irritating narration.

I read this book years ago and loved it so decided to revisit on Audible. It's still a compelling story but the narrators style I find bizarre and irritating. I honestly thought it was Stephen Toast . Takes a lot of getting used to.

An amazing follow up to magician

I loved this book and can’t wait to get stuck in to darkness at sethanon.

I’ve read all Feist books several times over and I’m a lifelong fan since I was 11. Over 30 years of literary pleasure.

If you haven’t read this you’re in for a treat
