A chance visit to the bargain bookshop led me to this copy of The High Lord by Trudi Canavan, thus completing my collection of the US editions of the Black Magician trilogy. 🥳
I was never into having the same editions of a series, but for my favorite fantasy series, it feels special. 😊
so-soI think this was the weakest of the trilogy. The love story aspect was a bit weak and seemed too easy. It took the focus away from the black magic aspect and the main storyline. I would still read it again to see if i liked it more the second time around.
pickThis was amazing. The whole book was wrapped up beautifully. Somethings I wished didn‘t happen but then it wouldn‘t make it as beautiful.
“You have to admit, it would be intimidating. Two black magicians...”
pickWow, this book. The second volume in the series had left me a bit blah, but this last installment certainly made up for it! Enjoyed it so much. So much "live" action, so many surprises, and that world building... definitely recommend the whole trilogy!
Thank you @TheLondonBookworm for encouraging me to keep reading!!! This now has a place on my Keepers shelf ??
I had to make the image unfocused so as to avoid spoilers! This book is so exciting 💥💥And the writing here is faster-paced but somehow the author depicts the scenes perfectly — every page, it's like the scenes are playing in my head. And suddenly it occurs to me: there is no way we will ever be truly pleased with a movie/TV adaptation of our favorite books. Nothing can come close to our own imagination.
The last book in the trilogy! Can't wait to dive in. This cover is kind of quietly creepy, isn't it? 😶
