Trudi Canavan is one of those rare types that can create a world that is not only engrossing but also believable (as far as magic goes).
In a world where magic is controlled by the rich and powerful one lone girl will throw all convention to the wind and shake the foundation of the classes.
This is the second in a trilogy that really does beg you to read the prequel “The Magician's Apprentice” and for me has made me squirm in my seat to get the sequel trilogy “The Traitor Spy Trilogy”
If you like magic, adventure, mystery and murder then this is a trilogy for you!
