Forest Mage is the second book of The Soldier Son Trilogy. I love this book. This book has everything I want from good fantasy - it has depth, it's dark and it's fascinating. Robin Hobb sure knows how to write great fantasy books for adults. If you enjoyed reading Shaman's Crossing, you must read Forest Mage. Forest Mage is much better than Shaman's Crossing. You won't be disappointed with this book.
