“Nevare’s journey through war and peace is both timeless and timely.” - Library Journal
“Hobb is a remarkable storyteller.” - The Guardian
“Hobb has a positive genius for using fantasy themes to set up ethical conflicts. . . . There are no easy victories, no all-conquering forces on either side in Hobb’s work, and both sides are sufficiently well characterized in their vivid settings that there are very few straw men in evidence.” - Booklist (starred review)
“Hobb does an admirable job of creating a complex and engaging medieval fantasy world …with originality and subtlety [she handles] such traditional fantasy elements as dragons and magical items…A nicely imagined fantasy setting that will engage readers and raise anticipation for the second installment. - Kirkus Reviews
“At once harrowing, unexpected, and morally complex.” - Locus
“In a novel as good as it is massive, the first of two Rain Wilds Chronicles...Hobb continues to occupy a perch at or near the top among contemporary fantasists. This book is imaginative, literate, and compassionate from first page to last.” - Booklist (starred review)
“Hobb’s meticulously realized fantasy tale is a welcome addition to contemporary dragon lore.” - Publishers Weekly
“Full throttle . . . [a] thrilling conclusion. . . . Hobb’s writing unfurls here with muscular and self-assured bravado, the characters fascinating and three-dimensional.” - Realms of Fantasy Magazine on RENEGADE'S MAGIC
“FOREST MAGE presents a darker and more complex hero in Nevare . . .Ms. Hobb has given a lot of thought to her world and characters. Dark as they are, they stand out like jewels on velvet.” - Romance Reviews Today
