5 Stars/ 5
The Novice starts a few months after The Magicians Guild.
Sonea is now a novice at the Guild but faces a tough time from the other
novices who are distrustful because she is a girl from the slums. Dannyl is now
ambassador to Elyne and is on a mission to rediscover ancient magic. At the same time Sonea, Rothen and Administrator
Lorlen have to find a way of dealing with and stopping the High Lord Akkarin
from using his black magic.
As I said in my review of The Magicians Guild, I am a big
fan of the Black Magician Trilogy, so this might not be an unbiased review.
This book has great character development and story line and leaves you wanting
to finish the series right then and there.
Sonea grows as a character in this book but at the same
time is more vulnerable as she is out of her element and does not fit in at the
Guild as much as the slums. I also like how we learn about Dannyl and also
different parts of this world.
I love how Trudi Canavan can make us empathise with all
of the characters and how everything is not black and white, similarly the
suspected villain is very mysterious and you are unsure of his motives, and
whether what he is doing is evil or not..
