Book Description:
Asmar, a young and naïve wizard, is sent on an impossible quest—to stop the renegade wizard, Malzus, from finding the tree of wisdom.
The Great Council of wizards, desperate to find the golden pulcher tree, the source of all knowledge, sent nine wizards over the impassable seas to the far away land of Bracat—only to face years of frustration and failure.
Until one of their own turned against them.
Armed with a golden staff to amplify his power, the rogue wizard Malzus fled the wizards’ city of Dolcere and began a ruthless hunt for the tree.
Meanwhile, in the small, protected village of Tuland, Asmar, a misfit, is suddenly called to Dolcere. There, he learns that he is to become a wizard, tasked with stopping the death and destruction caused by Malzus.
The Great Council tasks Asmar with not only defeating Malzus but returning the golden staff to them. But Asmar doesn’t trust the wizards and their influence over him. Can he break the cycle of violence and selfishness and determine his own destiny?

My Review:
I had the pleasure to be introduced to J D Rasch's work with his The Silver Forest, Book One and was wanting to see how the story would be continued with his The Silver Forest, Book Two. I was excited to get that opportunity read it. I do want to warn readers that it would be best to read The Silver Forest, Book One, first before starting this one to have a better and more enjoyable reading experience. It was great to be able to catch up with the characters and once again be transported in the magical world. I loved going on this journey feeling as though I was right in the middle of it all. I found this book to be even better than the first one of the series. It was a pleasure in finding out what happened with this story and seeing how it all ended.
I am giving The Silver Forest, Book Two five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers and fans of fantasy fiction. I believe this adventure should not be missed. It is definitely worth reading. I would love to read more books like this one from the talented J D Rasch in the near future to see what he has in store for his characters and fans.
I received a paperback copy of J D Rasch's The Silver Forest, Book Two from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
