Summary: The Novice
Comment: At the end of Book 1 Sonea is still a slum girl whose place in society has been considerably elevated. Now in Book 2 we know her as a young woman striving to be accepted by her peers. But there is more than criticism from her fellow novices on Sonea's mind, for she conceals a dark secret in her mind. The High Lord is practicing black magic. Black magic is completely evil and banned. But although the High Lord knows this, he still practices it. But, at least for now, there is nothing Sonea can do, for even if the guild were to find out, the High Lord is stronger than all of them combined. But there is hope, a good friend's journey just might help them to solve all the riddles.

All in all I thought this was a very well written and well thought out book. I highly enjoyed Book 1, and enjoyed Book 2 even more. I am anxiously anticipating Book 3.

Summary: Second in a Trilogy
Comment: Keep in mind this is a trilogy, you need to have read Magician's Guild before you read this book.

As the story progresses Sonea joins the upper class boys and girls in the guild to learn how to control and wield her magic. As you can imagine the cultural divide is the main focus of the book. The angst created in this book was delicately done and I found it very moving, annoying yes, but I was supposed to be annoyed.

The magic system that the author has invented starts to become more apparent, it is both original and refreshing, I HIGHLY recommend this series to those who enjoy the Fantasy genre.

Rating: 5
Summary: A good sequel
Comment: Having read the first book, I was not dissapointed with the Novice, although it was slightly reminscent of Harry Potter. It was still a very enjoyable read, and I couldn't put it down. I am looking forward to the third installment.
