A review by bergsteiger
Forest Mage by Robin Hobb
3.0
Can't say I am as enthralled by Hobb in this series. She still is a great storyteller but I found my interest waning.
The first turn off was dredging up old themes, primarily the memories of a race gathered over time. Then there was the young man, coming of age, stubborn, unable to see the bigger picture.
I also didn't like the warring internal selves. I felt like this ambiguity was resolved in the first book and then randomly re-surfaced without any explanation.
Griping aside I finished this one and still was entertained. Just don't feel this series is measuring up to Farseer and Mad Ship series.
