Synopsis
Each year the magicians of Imardin gather together to purge the city streets of vagrants, urchins and miscreants. Masters of the disciplines of magic, they know that no one can oppose them. But their protective shield is not as impenetrable as they believe. Sonea, angry, frustrated and outraged by the treatment of her family and friends, hurls a stone at the shield, putting all her rage behind it. To the amazement of all who bear witness, the stone passes unhindered through the barrier and renders a magician unconscious. The guild's worst fear has been realised ...There is an untrained magician loose on the streets. She must be found before her uncontrolled powers unleash forces that will destroy both her, and the city that is her home. THE MAGICIANS' GUILD is a blistering new fantasy adventure from a debut author skilled in both world-building and storytelling. The trilogy continues with THE NOVICE (Aug '04) and THE HIGH LORD (Feb '05).
Review
As soon as the first pages are read the obsession begins. This book is filled with magic, adventure and heart stopping moments as you follow the main character Sonea, her life quickly changes from lower class to one of the most powers beings in Imardin.
Even though this book is amazing in all its writing and story-lines there are times when your not grabbed by the words and just have to read on, but do not worry, like most of Trudi Canavans books there is always something round the corner.
In all, I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone looking for adventure, wisdom and magic.
