Is black always black?
Review of The High Lord - Trudi Canavan by Secre

Advantages: A brilliant finale to brilliant series, development of characters superb
Disadvantages: Possibly a bit weak in the middle of book...and the very end is a bit of a let down

The boring but necessary stuff Title: The High Lord Author: Trudi Canavan Publisher: Orbit Fantasy Illustration(paperback): Steve Stone Price(paperback): 7.99 Series: The Black Magician Trilogy ISBN 1841493155 Quick synopsis To understand a lot of the settings in the book the first and second books are rather required reading.

The real deal
Review of The High Lord - Trudi Canavan by wolfatgoogle

Advantages: The best in the trilogy
Disadvantages: None - there WILL be another series to follow :)) (just found out today)

The Plot It is a year on since Sonea won the Challenge against Regin. At that time she "saw" something that she has been unable to understand completely, and she is now seeking to discover more about her (Magician's) Guild guardian High Lord Akkarin. Her original guardian Rothen is worried for Sonea; he has suspicions similar to Sonea's and is worried for her safety. He is also concerned that her new guardian is not taking sufficient care of ...

An exciting finale.
Review of The High Lord - Trudi Canavan by dracoiratus

Advantages: Wraps the trilogy up neatly.
Disadvantages: It's the last book.

This is the final book in the Black Magician trilogy after The Magician's Guild and The Novice. As Akkarin's chosen student and hostage, Sonea feels trapped. The other students resent her for the perceived privilege that they feel should rightly have gone to one of them, and that she would happily hand over to be free. Despite the High Lords' references to an ancient enemy, this being his reason for studying and practising the black arts, Sonea ... Read review

A magicians life is not a happy one.
Review of The High Lord - Trudi Canavan by hugdealer

Advantages: The finale to an amzingly rich fantasy tale
Disadvantages: just like the others this book is hard to put down

...or series of books, by the time i get to the third one it feels as though the author has run out of steam - not so with this book, it is as compelling as the 2 before it. This book can be read alone without detracting from the detail but you may want to read the others first in order to experience the full richness of the work the author has put into this tale. We rejoin Sonea at the guild just under a year later. Sonea is now accepted and in most ... Read review

High Lord - a must for all fantasy fans
Review of The High Lord - Trudi Canavan by nynaeve80

Advantages: Brilliant writing, great story and characters
Disadvantages: Its the last one......ending could be better

...'unputdownable' from Canavan, just like the first 2 in the series. Trudi Canavan writes so fluidly, you find yourself wrapped up in the story and unable to leave it (I was often to be seen heading to bed/ the bathroom/ kitchen with this book held in front of my face still reading it!) However, although I admire her bravery in killing off a major character, I found the final scenes rather anti-climactic, I had to go back and read a few pages again ... Read review
