Book Review of The Novice (Black Magician, Bk 2)

The Novice (Black Magician, Bk 2)

In part 2 of the series, Sonja continues her training. I enjoyed the first book, and the second one was even better. Ms. Canavan starts explaining more about how her magic system works, and some of the characters get a little less 2-dimensional. A little is explained, but a lot is left unresolved, setting the stage for the third and final book, and I was looking forward to reading it. The ending is a little predictable, but satisfying, with enough unexpected to still be satisfying.

I definitely recommended it to my wide, who doesn't read as much fantasy as I do, but I try to send her to the ones I think she will enjoy ... and this is one of those.
