Well, the third week really hit my bingo experience out of the ballpark this year -- and not only because it finished with my first completed bingo; that was actually just the icing on the cake. But it included no less than three absolutely knock-out fabulous books, plus a fourth that was almost as...
Der erste Band der „Black Magician Trilogy“, „The Magician’s Guild”, basiert auf einem Traum der Autorin Trudi Canavan.

The first book in the series mainly focuses on Sonea and her friends. It is only in the second half that we see more of the Guild.I like Sonea. She is smart, intelligent and fiercely independent. I like Cery too, though I am not sure if they are a good match. Rothen is an interesting and loveable ch...
