The Black Magician Trilogy is an amazing trilogy! Even though Akkarin dying was upsetting it shows the talant of Trudi that she can make someone feel that emotion!! I think the relationship between Tayend and Dannyl is ingenious and the books kept me gripped throughout. They deserve more publicity! But then that would mean the world i find myself in whilst reading the books would be opened up to everyone and they may just lose the magic the stories have x

I read the Age of the Five series first, and highly recommend them to anyone thinking about this series aswell. The Black Magician trilogy is a fantastic introduction to an excellent writer, and also to the unique style of her 'multi-perspective' novels. Based around an exceptionally detailed world full of romance, politics, action, danger and every other genre you could imagine.. this series along with the prequal and all of Canavan's work, is very much worth the read for anybody with even a sl ...

I loved the way the storyline unfolds, and how Trudi Canavan embodies the true emotions of each person, allowing you to truly become close to the charaters and the story, so that you feel pain when they do and feel happy when they do. Amazing storyline and amazing ending although i would have prefered it if Akkarin didnt die. At some points through the triliogy i thought it lacked some detail but wasnt enough to stop me loving the book. Overall i would say that it was a simply amazing book, all ...

It kept me really interested. I couldn't put the book down until i finished it. I got the books out so many times from the library, my sister finally decided to buy me the whole trilogy.

As said above, the story flows very well. However, a more descriptive style would have added to the story and the complexity of the characters.

A very detailed and elaborated walk through of the Thief road and how it connects to the center of the city is very amazing. The duel between Sonea and Regin is also wonderful and I also like the romance between Akkarin and Sonea, Cery and Savara and between Tayend and Dannyl. It is not descriptive enough. Especially the part where Akkarin dies. Good story and good plot but lacking in astonishing outburst or unpredictable events.

The Black Magician Trilogy is all round great. When Sona and Akkarin where fighting the Ichani I felt like one of the magicians on the roof.

I loved everything about The Black Magicians Trilogy, when Sonea hiding I was scared, when she began trusting Rothen I felt like I was trusting him to and when she fell in love with Akkarin I felt butterflys in my stomach every time I read his name. This trilogy got me so caught up in all the emotions and lives of the characters that I started believing it could all be true and when Akkarin died I cried just as Sonea did. All this book has not recieved all the publicity that Harry Potter did; it ...

An excellent fantasy adventure trilogy. one of the few really wonderful realistic worlds that are quite rare to come across. The plot twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the book. impossible to put down. the black magician trilogy is a really wonderful, magnificent read. the characters draw you in and the plot sweeps you away into a magical world of magicians. sonea is an ordinary girl and through the book she grows and changes into a powerful magicaian, possibly one of ...

I really liked this trilogy. I just couldn't put it down. The idea of a normal girl becoming a high ranked magician really makes you think. It never lacks imagination, it never lacks action and it surely doesn't lack love, loss and luck. The characters are so realistic, and you can imagine the scenes happening right in front of you. It really does possess all the elements for a good fantasy book. I would recommend this book to everyone, though maybe more for women than males.

Dazzling and subtle, never lacking any action. It was to good to stop reading even for an hour. The Black Magician Trilogy is at least as good as LOTR and Harry Potter, read it.

A good read and I would recommend reading it. Very enjoyable despite the bad points. I'm still confused as to whether I like the style of writing or not. It is an omniscient style, which becomes frustrating and enjoyable and it is left on a cliffhanger each time. Hard to put down once you start!

I love Trudi Canavan! I discovered her through the Black Magician Trilogy. The books are wonderful to read, although I do think her books are more suited to women, rather than men. I love how she portrays Sonea as a humble, but very intelligent and powerful magician. And since Sonea's talents are not overly exposed in the course of the story, the few magical showdowns in the series become such a thrill to read. I do however find the ending anti-climactic. I kept hoping there was more to the stor ...
