Review: What an awesome series - Before I read this book I went through several of the comments so my expectations were not very high. But seriously, I could not put this book down. Following Sonea's progress through the University was an amazing bit of writing. The imagery and character creation was phenomenal. It was a little annoying reading the travels of Dannyl interspersed with the other story lines, not because the writing was bad or the story was boring - just because the parts about Sonea were so interesting. Canavan is in my opinion an amazing writer and deserves to be among the top writers of the genre. Usually the middle book of any series is the slowest but that is not the case with 'The Novice'. Great writing, great story, great action. Well done Trudi! I highly recommend this series. I have already purchased the follow up series 'The Traitor Spy Triology' and am eager to finish this series so I can see where the next series goes.
Review: Enjoyable read! - The Novice follows the story of Sonea a poor girl from the slums who has discovered she is a magician. After her pursuit by the guild, she decides to become a student. But her life isn't easy because there are people who resent the fact that someone of her social standing can join the guild. She is constantly harassed by her fellow students. She becomes motivated to excel so that she can move ahead of her fellow classmates and move to another class. Her life changes for the better or perhaps the worst when the High Lord decides to take her guardianship. Her social standing improves but she is still harassed and then there is the secret that she knows about the High Lord. The secret could change the power structure and leadership of the guild. The High Lord would like to keep that from happening and has put pressure on Sonea to ensure that it doesn't. Sonea will just have to find a way to survive. This is book two of the three part series and is recommended to all that like fantasy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Continued Intrigue
*by G***. on January 8, 2022*

With this 2nd book of the trilogy--the author keeps the pace moving along with the development of the characters. Twists and turns to the story/plot keep the actions of the characters interesting and life-like. This 2nd part of the trilogy did not disappoint and I felt that I grew along with the characters in understanding their frustrations, challenges and connections. Worthy of reading--I would recommend getting the trilogy to give you the complete story/plot.
