On the whole i really enjoyed this series, i like the style of writing and the story i thought was really strong. I will certainly be keeping an eye on this author! However i just got the feeling that i would have enjoyed it so much more if Canavan had gone into more detail - it felt a little 'skimmed over', like i was being protected by the author so as not to get too scared! Lacking in tension but otherwise interesting storyline.

The story concludes, everyone lives happily ever after and so on. I couldn't help but feel the ending was a bit of a let down - but then again I did stay up to the early hours of the morning to finish it.

Loved the story and is a great followup to the Black Magician Trilogy but I
found a few of the plot pieces were a bit too simple, and there was a lot
more inner voice use that often was not needed. Still a great story and one
I've very much d enjoyed.
