Trudi Canavan, The Novice
Eos (2002) ISBN: 0-06-057529-8
Score: 1.5

Second book of the Black Magician trilogy. We learn bits and pieces of the head magician's dark secret, but the book is mostly about the heroine getting harassed by her classmates. I am very thankful that I attended public schools.

Next Book: Naomi Novik, Throne of Jade

Start of the Black Magician trilogy, about a peasant girl who discovers she has magic powers. Entertaining and well executed, but not very original.
