Good storyline, clunky awkward writing The only part I didn't really like is that the protagonist is actually another Sonea.
Ja, ingesamt "nur" 3 Sterne. Eigentlich hätte ich klar mehr erwartet, doch zwischenzeitlich hab ich auch kurz mal eine 2-Stern-Wertung in Betracht gezogen. Nach "Der Gilde der schwarzen Magier" hab ich mich doch schon auf den Beginn dieser Trilogie gefreut, auch wenn ich mich bei Akkarins und Lor...
I would love to give this book 5 stars since I love Trudi's Work. The plot and characters become very interesting, so much so that I am itching for the next book. The ending is fantastic in leaving you wanting more. However, I did say they 'become' interesting. Unfortunately, the novel takes a wh...
The plot sounded amazing and exactly the type of book I'm into. I was looking for another thrilling, emotional rollercoaster, filled with action to read after I had finished reading the Inheritance Cycle (Christopher Paolini)...and halfway through this book I had to stop. I was so bored with the ...
This is one of those books where there was always quite a lot going on. I fear that the multitude of different streams of consciousness mean that there will be bits of the narrative that I have missed on the first reading but the reality is that this is just an excuse to read it again...and again...
Slow and boring. (I read the Danish edtion of this book)It was so slow and I felt like nothing exciting happende, all they ever did was talking. I don't min talking in a book, but then there has to be something that connect the different talks and some exciting and interesting subjects. I had to ...
An average story destroyed by pedestrian writing. The trilogy could easily have been condensed into one novel simply by tightening the writing. I literally groaned in frustration when I realised I was reading an explanation of both the meaning and the implications of the phrase "not yet". It's ac...
The beginning of this book was a bit slow for me. I found myself unable to form an attachment to Lorkin, and was a bit disappointed with how passive Sonea seemed to be. Yet, I continued reading it because leaving a book unfinished bothers me. About halfway through I was really enjoying it. Unlike...
Overall, I've enjoyed this series, though I think that there were a few issues with the ending. It's mostly a matter of keeping multiple storylines going throughout the series, but then trying to wrap them all up too quickly. The resolution of each of the storylines just seemed a bit rushed to ...
This was the last book from a sequel of "Black Magician Trilogy".Well, after finishing it, the only thing I must say is, that this sequel shouldn't exist. For example, (at least me) one of the things we loved was the use of magic, how did they project their energy in order to do something; it is ...
Disappointed, love Trudi Canavans ideas, writing and flow, but this book seems to take way too long to get going, the story is really in the second half of the book. One feels she may have been made to stretch two books in this series to three.That said, I kept reading because I was looking for r...
Last of the Wilds is the second book in the Age of the Five trilogy, after Priestess of the White. Where I had a hard time getting into the book with the first one in the series, with Last of the Wilds I got sucked in immediately. This was partly because it's the second book in the series – the...
Apa yang kamu lakukan bila kamu melihat tumpukan buku tebal + diskon dengan harga yang sangat menggiurkan, lalu menyadari bahwa genre buku tersebut merupakan genre yang kamu sukai?Apa kamu akan mengabaikan tumpukan buku-buku itu?Cuma melihat-lihat dan sekedar lewat saja?Atau kamu akan kalap dan m...
Priestess of the White is the first novel in Trudi Canavan’s Age of Five series.Set in a fantastical world where Gods have chosen representatives to do their bidding in the world, this novel mixes magic and religion. The leaders of Hania are the White – five powerful sorcerers who are guided by t...
★: TE ODIO MERECÉS MORIRRRRR*Da vuelta el libro para leer la sinopsis* MAGIA, ACCIÓN Y AVENTURA EN LA ÓPERA PRIMA DE UNA AUTORA QUE HA TRIUNFADO EN EL MUNDO ENTERONo me encontré con nada de eso.Me decepcioné. No demasiado, porque no le había puesto tantas fichas, pero no me gustó. Fue aburridísi...
This been a long time since I was this frustrated with a book. There were so many moments of, "Why doesn't Sonea shield? Why doesn't she call for help? Why the f**k is she allowing this to keep happening?! And why ffs are the adults not doing a damn thing about all of this!?!" For a strong charac...
This is a good read. And i'd never suspected it, especially after book 1 and 2 were so longwinded that they tested my patience. The whole trilogy would have worked so much better in an abridged version. I liked this third installment best. The plot is finally moving forward (jerkily and rushed, b...
