Not Up To Par
Dec 8 2011
By mamamoocz
- Published on Amazon.com
What happened, Trudi? I remember when I picked up the BMT, the Magicians' Guild, and couldn't put it down. Then came The Novice and the High Lord and I was addicted and re-read them all several times.I read the Age of the Five trilogy also and found them very interesting. The storyline and writing techniques were exciting.
Then I picked up the Magician's Apprentice and the Ambassador's Mission and found myself wondering what exactly I found so darn appealing.
Canavan's latest novels have a tumble-weed feel; they are a tangled web of boring character encounters and self-reflections. I found myself skipping pages and finding that the plot has not advanced nor have the characters' developed along with their experiences.
I have stopped buying her books. It's a sad thing as I once held Canavan in highest regard as my favorite author. She has been replaced by Ann Aguirre, Brandon Sanderson, and Ilona Andrews.

Extremely disappointing
Sep 22 2011
By T. L. Mikael

Format:Paperback
I'm very sorry to say that Trudy Canavan's books just seem to get worse and worse. I truly enjoyed the Black Magician trilogy, but ever since then every book has been a huge disappointment. The Ambassador's Mission is so utterly boring I struggled to get through it. The plot is not very interesting, it brings you back to the Kyralia world, but this time the experience feels like no more than a faint shadow of what it once was. The characters are flat and vapid and their development poor, but I think worst of all is that the story is so very predicatble! I think I got surprised like once - in the whole book! Well, now I have learnt, once and for all: No more books by Trudy Canavan for me.

Nothing like the first two trilogies
April 18 2012
By Eowyn
- Published on Amazon.com
I so wanted to like this book as I was completely impressed by Canavan's first two trilogies - neither of which I could put down. However, this first book in the Traitor Spy Trilogy has just fallen flat. I couldn't find any passion for the characters and it got way too much into the history that was revealed in The Black Magician Trilogy - this might be great for those new to the world of Kyralia, but for those who have already read the previous books it was incredibly boring. Secondly, I didn't find that the major plot idea was particularly engaging - just didn't seem that exciting. Such a shame.
