  <default_description>&lt;p&gt; &quot;You want to know the truth.&quot; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Sonea has learned much since she was but a penniless urchin possessing an awesome untapped ability. She has earned the grudging respect of her fellow novices and a place in the &lt;i&gt;Magicians' Guild. &lt;/i&gt;But there is much she wishes she had never learned&amp;#8212;what she witnessed, for example, in the underground chamber of the mysterious High Lord Akkarin . . . and the knowledge that the Guild is being observed closely by an ancient fearsome enemy. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Still, she dares not ignore the terrifying truths the High Lord would share with her, even though she fears it may be base trickery, a scheme to use her astonishing powers to accomplish his dark aims. For Sonea knows her future is in his hands&amp;#8212;and that only in the shadows will she achieve true greatness . . . if she survives. &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[It wasn't that complicated a plot, or that original a premise -- to be honest, much of the setting reminded me of Raymond E. Feist's Krondor mixed with his magicians on Kelewan. Regardless, I enjoyed reading the books and read them very quickly: one a day, just about.

I'd recommend reading the trilogy together and in order, which is probably something normal people would do anyway.

    <body><![CDATA[A great conclusion to a series that had a bit of a slow start. While the first book was mostly a summary, the second book really set the stage for the third. The plot made some sharp twists, and ended the trilogy properly. Although, really, did Akkarin have to die? That was so sad, and I was left th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38975927">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was sad to see Dannyl and Tayend's relationship fade into the background a little more, but then I was appeased by the introduction of Sonea/Akkarin so *shrug*<br/>It was a hard book to put down. The plot was simple, but it was not too simple and I often found myself admiring some of the details ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43385961">more...</a>]]></body>

I've found my taste in novels changing substantially across recent years. As recently as five years ago I would probably have given these novels three or four stars, but at this p...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18049896">more...</a>]]></body>

The story still centers on her, but there are more story threads devoted to other characters that really round out the world Canavan's created.

The reader can easily identify with the interesting characters in the book, and many &quot;real world&quot; issues are touched upon in the trilogy; like homosexuality, tolerance etcetera.
