monkeybubbles Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) Just wondering if anybody else is eagerly awaiting the final installment of this trilogy next week? I shall be re-reading The Rogue a few days before The Traitor Queen is deposited in to my kindle. I'm very excited to see where she takes it.

Raven Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I never made it past The Magicians’ Guild! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattB Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I have a couple of her books but have never tried reading them - they've always struck me as generic and shallow, but there again as the cliche goes...you should never judge a book by its cover. Any opinions of her writing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Well, this is my review of The Magician's Guild, I wasn't overly impressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeybubbles Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 The Magicians Guild/Black Magician Trilogy were amongst the books I read when first discovering fantasy books having previously not been that interested. As fantasy novels go I guess they are somewhat generic but there were enough twists and turns in the trilogy as a whole to keep me turning pages. I enjoyed Canavan's writing style, it was simple, but they were a pleasant and easy read (possibly more suited to a YA label?). I found the first book paved a lot of the way for the second and third instalments but then I have always tended to treat trilogies as one long story instead of three separate books so maybe that's why I found the lack of action in book one easy to get past. By the end of the third book I was attached enough to the characters to seek out the sequel trilogy, which I am just coming to the end of and have enjoyed more than the first. These aren't the most in depth fantasy novels you will ever read but they are worth sticking with, they get better as you read on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
