Relation Concering Books The Magicians' Guild (The Black Magician Trilogy #1)
"We should expect this young woman to be more powerful than our average novice, possibly even more powerful than the average magician."This year, like every other, the magicians of Imardin gather to purge the city of undesirables. Cloaked in the protection of their sorcery, they move with no fear of the vagrants and miscreants who despise them and their work-—until one enraged girl, barely more than a child, hurls a stone at the hated invaders...and effortlessly penetrates their magical shield.
What the Magicians' Guild has long dreaded has finally come to pass. There is someone outside their ranks who possesses a raw power beyond imagining, an untrained mage who must be found and schooled before she destroys herself and her city with a force she cannot yet control.

"She was special, but in a way he could not have guessed. She had magic!" - DNF 67% - I am sorry, but I can't take more of the insipid interactions between these flat and dull characters (also, stupid) who keep running around in this vague and generic world where nuance doesn't exist and where everyone generalize to excess. Don't even get me started about the writing, so bland and repetitive that it would be laughable if it wasn't so terrible. I really don't care if it gets better after. IThis book started off on the wrong foot for me, with a contradiction in the first paragraph (is the wind howling because of what it sees or is it silent because of what it sees?). The next few chapters did little to improve my opinion. The characters were stereotyped and the description clumsy. There were info dumps about how the world worked. There were words changed simply to make the world feel differentfor example, ale became bol and there were substituted words for tea, coffee and trouble.
This review was written by Manon for RantingDragon.comThe redundant beginningSonea is a dwell that lives in the slums. Everyone in the slums hates the Magicians that live safely, luxuriously and arrogantly up in their Magicians Guild. Only those of the Houses can become Magicians, and those in the slums are regarded as rats of the city, without any magical potential.Until Sonea and her gang start throwing rocks to the heads of the Magicians that have gathered for the annual Purge (the Purge
The Magicians' Guild (Black Magician Trilogy, #1), Trudi Canavan The Magicians' Guild is the first fantasy novel in The Black Magician series by Trudi Canavan. Published in 2001, it is followed by The Novice (2002) and The High Lord (2003). The book tells the story of Sonea, a young girl from the slums, as she discovers her magical potential. When she hurls a stone through a magical barrier, accidentally injuring a magician behind it, Sonea finds herself on the run from the powerful Magicians'
It is said, in Imardin, that the wind has a soul, and that it wails through the narrow streets because it is grieved by what it finds there. I picked this up with every intention of reading this the same as with every book I pick up. The synopsis piqued my interest and I'm ready to cut my arm for a copy of this. However, when I took a quick look at the review section, I was surprised to see that it has so many bad reviews. Did that deter me from reading this? Absolutely not. I read books that
I first read this as a teenager and I remembered loving it. Re-reading it now,it's lost a little of its shine. The book centres around Sonea,a teenager living in the slums who discovers she has magic powers. Magic has traditionally belonged to the upper classes alone, and so Sonea flees the magicians,believing they will attempt to kill her. In reality, they want to bring her in to teach her to control her powers. The first half of the novel feels like a cat and mouse tale that goes on far too
Here's me being ruthless. It's my new year's resolution.I'm giving this away at 16%. I'm not going to rate it because I haven't given it enough of a chance - but the style of writing reminds me of the first Harry Potter book ie written for young children, but without the same charm. The audio narration by Richard Aspel wasn't terrible, but very average - maybe it was what he had to work with?Possibly, if I gave this more of a chance, this would grow on me as I like coming of age, process of
