Silverthorn is the second book in the Riftwar trilogy by Raymond E. Feist, (published by Grafton, ISBN 0-586-06417-6), and follows on from his first work, Magician.

The characters from the first fantasy saga are developed even more, with the likes of Jimmy the Hand and Arutha Prince of Krondor battling against the Mockers and trying to save Midkemia from dark powers. The same plotlines are continued, the idea of the Enemy is introduced and developed further, and the book is well written as is its predecessor.

As a fan, I would recommend that you read Magician first, so that you learn about all the ways of this fantastic world before taking up the thread of plot in Silverthorn.

The second book is shorter than its prequel, only 432 pages this time, but the ending leaves you hanging, you expect another chapter or two, but instead you are desparate to rush out and buy the third and final installment of the trilogy to see where it all leads up to.
