Publisher's summary

A mage's soul is forged in the crucible of magic. Raistlin Majere is six years old when he is introduced to the archmage who enrolls him in a school for the study of magic. There the gifted and talented but tormented boy comes to see magic as his salvation. Mages in the magical Tower of High Sorcery watch him in secret, for they see shadows darkening over Raistlin even as the same shadows lengthen over all Ansalon.

Finally, Raistlin draws near his goal of becoming a wizard. But first he must take the drea Test in the Tower of High Sorcery. It will change his life forever - if he survives.

bewarethis book may lead tobuying the whole series

a superb story with intriguing characters. Beware, that this book may spark an interest in all thing Dragonlance. this, the first book in chronological order. Soulforge sets the stage for all that is to come, and it is magnificent.

The Life of a Great Mage

This book is well worth the time and energy. It is extremely easy to get lost in the life story of Raistlin and loose all track of time.
You either love Raistlin and the Dragonlance saga...or you are wrong👍.

amazing book!

One of my all time favorite books! Read very well! The reader used different voices for the different characters and it made it extremely easy to follow along. Worth every penny!

A surprising find!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Soulforge to be better than the print version?

I wouldn't know, I only listened to the book. But the audio narration was expertly done. The voice of the narrator is a perfect fit.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Soulforge?

When the main character is given a test by his master. I loved the development of this character throughout the book. Even though it is a fantasy, the progress of the main character in learning magic is slow - almost like a realistic look. He has had to work hard for his knowledge, he doesn't just wake up one day and have power like so many other books.

Have you listened to any of Chris Sorensen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I don't think I have.

Fantastic adventure!

Tells the story of one of the best characters in the Dragonlance world. The narrator Chris Sorensen is FANTASTIC! I listened on my drive to college daily(35 mins one way) and never stopped listening.

Truly spellbinding.

The narration and pace of the book left me yearning to listening some more. When I had moments, I used them to continue on with this book.
Power never has been written as well as within the pages of this novel.

Loved the story, but I'm not a 2nd grader

I have always loved the Dragonlance books, and Raistlin is by far my favorite character. But the narration sounded as if he was reading to a class full of grade schoolers. It just didn't have the dark edge you would expect from a story about this character.

I wondered who that guy was!!!!

It was the same feeling as finding out about Anakin! I wish there was a "postquel" to this "prequel".
