    <body><![CDATA[Trudi Canavan's new prequel to her Black Magician trilogy is a decent book that just moves along too slowly.

    <body><![CDATA[I thought this was an excellent book.  It was a bit on the long side, but all in all very good.  For me, it read more like the third book in the Black Magician Trilogy.  Despite its length, it moved along pretty quickly.
