DESCRIPTION:
utterly admirable, less enjoyable--won't be for everyone B. Capossere Robin Hobb has just concluded her Soldier's Son trilogy with the third book--Renegade Mage. There doesn't seem to be much point in reviewing solely Renegade, however, as anyone who has read the first two is likely to pick up the conclusion, so instead I'll s. Third Book Made Series Worth It Another reviewer suggested there was not a lot to enjoy in the Soldier's Son trilogy.

Hobb's dreamy prose is sometimes weighed down by a confusing magical system and glacial pacing, but she provides a stunning resolution to this epic fantasy about the importance of environmental and social balance. Using Soldier's Boy's powers, Nevare tries to destroy the Gernian road that threatens to ravage the Specks' forest home, and almost dies from exhaustion.

Nursed back to health by Olikea, the Speck woman whose sole duty is to feed him enough to power his magic, Nevare must find a way to keep Gernia
