I've got Magician's Guild by Trudi Canavan ordered from the library. How about you?

I read it a few years ago. The strange thing is that I read all three books (actually owned the hardcovers) in a row, so I must have liked them at the time. Still, my impression afterwards is not as good, and I don't even own the books anymore.

It's in my TBR. I just might dig it out.

Haven't re-read them in a long time, but assiming I can find my copy amoungst the boxes I'll join in for a read. Trudi's style has a few quirks in it, but is overall quite fun I think.

From looking over my reviews I think I prefered her Age of Five trilogy. But she has written a lot more in the Magician's Guild universe, so maybe I'm not a good representation of her fanbase.

I read this trilogy earlier this year and wasn't terribly impressed (especially with book 3), but I'll watch this thread and hope for some observations that make me rethink that assessment.

(edited to clarify the year read)

I've begun reading it, so far an OK read, not awesome, no major flaw either.

I can't find a Spoiler thread for discussions. I finished rereading the book a while ago and was waiting for others before posting my thoughts.

I agree that the book is fun and certainly keeps you reading, but actually a lot of it seems like filler, and the characters aren't anything special at this point.

That's because I'm a dunderhead and posted it in the wrong group!
