"You want to know the truth."

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 Magicians' Guild. But there is much she wishes she had never learned--what she witnessed, for example, in the underground chamber of the mysterious High Lord Akkarin

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. They're light, easy reads, in my opinion. If you're looking for something long and epic, look somewhere else, but if you want something to take up a boring weekend or something, I think these books would do it nicely.

If you're looking for something long and epic, look somewhere else, but if you want something to take up a boring weekend or something, I think these books would do it nicely.

The action itself definitely had me on edge. About one hundred and fifty pages from the end, I was literally on the edge of my seat bouncing up and down! The parts about the slums, wherever they came in, were perhaps a little too long. In the last part, that drew out the tension almost more than I could stand.

I liked the characters a lot. They were quite simply drawn, when I think about it -- Akkarin, for example, despite being a major character, got barely any characterisation at all until partway through the last book of the trilogy. Rothen was, purely and simply, a good father figure. Simple doesn't mean bad, though -- they were easy to like (or dislike, in Regin's case), and I got very fond of Sonea, Cery, Dannyl and Rothen in particular.

The relationships were... okay. Characters seemed to form relationships in the blink of an eye, and loathing turned to love very, very fast. The only relationship that I felt was really built up carefully was the one between Dannyl (a male magician) and Tayend (a male scholar). I enjoyed that aspect of the books quite a lot, actually, and while the relationship doesn't serve any particular plot purpose, I think it justifies its own existence as much as a het couple would. I read bits of Trudi Canavan's site and she said that she knew from the start that Dannyl was gay. When it came time for him to go on a quest and discover things, she wanted to spice up his subplot, and that came with a romance. And Tayend. I thought that relationship was really sweet, and it didn't fill me with rage as homosexuality as portrayed in fantasy has in the past -- I remember a series of books I read years ago where you could tell who the bad guys were because they were all gay sadists who tended to rape guys who fell into their hands!

Like I said: I think the trilogy's really quite an easy read. It doesn't have that much depth -- but as a casual read, I loved it.(less)

Jul 16, 2007 Alice rated it 5 of 5 stars · review of another edition Recommends it for: everyone who read the first two

This last book in the trilogy is the best by far. I really enjoyed it. I'd recommend reading the trilogy together and in order, which is probably something normal people would do anyway. I think while each one has a complete story arc, they form a much more complex and satisfying whole all together. Normally I advocate reading books haphazardly and maniaclly, but really, these could be just one big long novel if people were willing to carry around a 1000 page book.

I'm about a 150 pages in and this one is, by far, my favorite of the series.

Just finished and I really enjoyed this one. I can't honestly say that it kept me guessing 'till the end though. This is perhaps my biggest complaint with the writing. It tends to telegraph itself. Not so that it ruins the story over-all but enough so that there aren't any real surprise "twists".

I am moderately satisfied with the series, though not with the first book. What I think about each of the three books: 1) "The Guild": almost half of the book is spent relating the tentatives of Sonea, supported by a friend and the Thieves, to conceal herself from the Guild magicians: I think it is a waste of time and energy, because every reader undestands since a few pages that she's going to be captured and instructed from the Guild (it is impossible not to undestand it: the story is related...more I am moderately satisfied with the series, though not with the first book. What I think about each of the three books: 1) "The Guild": almost half of the book is spent relating the tentatives of Sonea, supported by a friend and the Thieves, to conceal herself from the Guild magicians: I think it is a waste of time and energy, because every reader undestands since a few pages that she's going to be captured and instructed from the Guild (it is impossible not to undestand it: the story is related also from some "good" magicians point of view an it would be of no use describing and introducing us with these magicians if they weren't going to be important characters in the rest of the book). Some thirty pages or so would have been enough to introduce us with the slums and the Thieves and a couple of characters coming through the whole series. Instead, one is just tempted to skip useless pages in order to go to the key events. 2) "The Novice": quite interesting the developing of Sonea's magical capabilities, satisfying the plot about her acceptance into the Guild. Flaw: unfortunately it is not concluded in itself, and it is absolutely necessary to read the third book. 3) "The High Lord": since now, the most appealing of the three books, a nice, well-paced plot (even if the Guild acts as a pretty stupid organism, blind fearful and dull-minded). As a conclusion: I would give 1 star to the first book, and three stars to the other two. The average would be less than two stars and a half, but I'm willing to give it three stars as a global evaluation because the story has quite a grip on the reader and, despite the series is far from perfect and the characters are sometimes a bit commonplace, one finds himself pleasurably driven forward. But please, someone must explain me a couple of things: <SPOILER> . . . . . . . . 1) why Akkarin during the final combat doesn't want to use the magic stored into the arched vault (I don't remember the name of the building)?? they were gathering magical energy form everyone and everything, why not that? that would have made the difference and everything would have ended differently. it seems to me very very stupid, when the destiny of your land depends on you, that you don't take advantage of every possibility, since the vault could eventually be restored in a second time. 2) the Sachakan woman: why doesn't she take part in the fight, but, more important, what was she? what was she doing there? yes, she was keeping an eye on the situatuion, but for whom did she act? in the end the author doesn't explain her role at all </SPOILER>(less)

Il terzo, e conclusivo, volume della "Black Magician Trilogy" probabilmente è il più debole dei tre libri scritti dalla Canavan, funestato tra l'altro da una miriade di errori di traduzione (ma a questo, dopo Jordan, ci sono abituato, infatti non ci ho quasi fato caso)...

After finishing The High Lord, I wished the previous two books in the trilogy were written like this book. Unlike the previous two books, things start happening in this one. Important things. Not things that will affect Sonea or some minor character, but rather the fate of the entire land.

Well, plot wise all the various strands came together in a way that was not entirely unexpected, but fantastic and satisfying all the same. However, what left me breathless was when we got to know Akkarin, the High Lord, much better than we have in previous books.

I loved a mage you see, long ago. I met him in a book. I followed him eagerly through six volumes over and over, and each time he died it shattered me. He was a study in ambiguity, where you were never quite sure whether or not he was truly evil. Of course it turned out, that with much of fantasy, "dead" was a little premature; and he did return years later. But it was a massive disappointment. His distinctive speech patterns faded in and out like an assumed accent in a bad movie, and his reactions were off from what I knew of him. Most importantly, the largest question chasing him through the entire series and especially the last (best) few books, was carefully avoided.

I did not expect to find him ressurected here. The whole Black Magician series had felt nostalgic to me, but it reminded me of Lackey and McCaffrey more than anything else, and this turn took me completely by surprise. I never thought someone else, who probably recited his words out loud as much as I did once upon a time, who paid attention to each careful nuance of his description would revive him. But Trudi Canavan did. He was there in Akkarin, and all the love I had for him returned, transferred onto someone like, but just enough different. I found myself reading his dialogue out loud the way I always, always did whenever my mage spoke, and it was the same cadence and inflection, the same precise use of language; the same details of face and eyes and robes to gauge expression and reaction...I really couldn't believe it, it was interchangeable. He's there, in all his ambiguity. But softened, a might have been. My mage chose evil and power, hers had it thrust upon him and that is a very different situation in the end. But hers did everything I so wanted mine to do. So the stakes are VERY high when it came to romance, since this was THE question that was never answered: Was he capable of love? And what would it look like if he was?

It didn't quite go how I knew it should. Trudi is not comfortable with romance, though she expends some effort trying. In the three Black Magician books there were two major romantic entanglements and both were too fast, too easy. One was set up badly, and didn't really get better--mostly I think because she was afraid to show too much between men. Instead you had a stilted conversation that revealed very little emotion and were left unsure of what happened after the door was slammed in the reader's face. The one that involved Akkarin was set up well, but it didn't do everything it could have. The transition from attraction to relationship is a wonderful tool that can show vulnerability in a character or at least add a surprise dimension, but here it was handled very clumsily. This should be a scene that you want so badly, the reader weeps when it finally happens with the cathartic rush of it, and here it was just was sort of insipid. Both sets came together almost with the cockiness of lovers who pick each other up in bars.

So while it was gripping and tugged at me in a very visceral way, it wasn't five stars. But I loved Akkarin, and am very grateful to Trudi Canavan for him.(less)

While her fellow novices seem more willing to accept her, Sonea is still prisoner to the High Lord of the Guild, Akkarin. Yet Sonea finds herself with questions; are Akkarin and his reasons are evil as Sonea once believed, why does the High Lord practice black magic, and what role will Sonea play in his plan...more

- I enjoyed the series, but I'm putting it firmly in the "good not great" category (hence the 3 star rating). As so often happens with YA fiction, it just doesn't have the full depth or the originality that would move it up a notch or two, which is unfortunate since there are definitely books out there which prove YA fiction need not be shallow or...more

*MAJOR SPOILERS!!*

I'm writing this review without reading the ones below. I just finished reading the book, so you might realize I'm still affected by a lot of what just happened. It took a day to read each book, and every day I was more and more interested on the fates of Sonea, Rothen, Dannyl, Cery, and eventually, even perhaps more than the rest, Akkarin.

Because of that, let me just inhale and exhale and perhaps say Holy Shit. Excuse my language, but really. That is how I feel, bewildered, excited, sad, amazed... all at the same time. However, perhaps the most prevalent emotion is regret at having finished the book. Not even when I read the Count of Monte Cristo (which made me cry) did I feel so sad at "closing" the book and at accepting the fate of the characters.

This last book was more exhilarating than the previous books where, although not as satisfying as the second one. The climax battle had me saying "YEAH! YEAH!" as Sonea, the Thieves, the Guild, and Akkarin faced their foes with more than just raw magic. Their trickery made me giddy, but as it neared the last confrontation, I felt certain that Akkarin would not survive. "Trudi," I said to my Kindle, "don't kill Akkarin or Sonea. I know you will, but don't do it." Alas, it seems my prayers were not answered, the ink apparently already dry on the pages of fate and Akkarin died. It is always strange to admit it, but I felt affected by the death of this magician that just a bunch of pages ago seemed so forbodding and evil.

That was the major strength in the book: I cared. I cared about Akkarin and Sonea, Rothen, Dannyl, Tayend, Dorrien, Cery, Takkan, and even Loreln. One of the things I respect most about an author is making me genuinely care for the characters, as I can imagine that is one of the most difficult things to do. You must write characters that have their own voice, that have flaws but don't make you dislike them, and that make you want to be there for them. By the end, I was even liking Regin!

After the characters, the books have excelled on their setting. I found the Theif assosiation incredibly interesting, and the hirarchy of the Guild and the slums really made the whole world a real place. The magic and the magicians surprised me with their courage, even if before they had disgusted me with their short-sightedness and bigotry. The people on the slums had me cheering for them, as they faced the battle like a game. They risked their lives, but they did it out of defiance, and even managed to take one of the magicians down. I almost wish to see more on the Underworld, and the powerstruggles that will most likely follow after the town is rid of the Purges. Maybe Ms. Canavan can make another novel just on that...

I'm really glad I kept reading past the lack-luster impresion I got from the first book, because this experience has been most fulfilling and interesting. I cannot wait to read more books by Trudi Canavan, because I'm sure that I'll meet sympathetic characters and interesting settings that will enthrall me beyond the scope of the plot, and that will probably make me sad to abandon again. But like they say, it is better to have loved and lost... Like Sonea, I know I don't regret loving this series and its characters, even if their departure has saddened me. (less)
