Product Details

Product Description

From AudioFile

Sonea has just discovered that she can work magic, but she has also accidentally injured one of the Magicians--the enforcers of the city Imardin. With the help of her friends and the assistance of the Thieves Guild, she will escape what she considers a fate worse than death--being inducted into the Magicians Guild. Richard Aspel reads in a light and crisp Australian accent, with rolling vowels and deliberate pauses at the end of many of his sentences. His vocal characterizations prove admirable as he smoothly transitions from the young Sonea to a range of colorful characters. The final track includes Lord Danils Guide to Slum Slang, which proves unnecessary by the storys end and would be more beneficial as a printed booklet.

Product Description

"We should expect this young woman to be more powerful than our average novice, possibly even more powerful than the average magician."

This year, like every other, the magicians of Imardin gather to purge the city of undesirables. Cloaked in the protection of their sorcery, they move with no fear of the vagrants and miscreants who despise them and their work—until one enraged girl, barely more than a child, hurls a stone at the hated invaders . . . and effortlessly penetrates their magical shield.

What the Magicians' Guild has long dreaded has finally come to pass. There is someone outside their ranks who possesses a raw power beyond imagining, an untrained mage who must be found and schooled before she destroys herself and her city with a force she cannot yet control.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great start to a series, Sep 9 2006
By Ms. H. Sinton "dragondrums" (Ingleby Barwick. U.K.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Magicians' Guild: The Black Magician Trilogy Book 1 (Mass Market Paperback)
Sonea is poor and lives in the slums. Once a year the King orders the Guild of Magicians to purge the slums of beggars and vagrants. It is during one of these purges that Sonea, in a fit of rage, discovers she has the power of magic. Only the Magicians are allowed to practice this craft and Sonea does not belong to their elitist group. In fear of her life, she goes into hiding whilst the Magicians do all in their power to find this 'rogue' user of magic.
This is a fantastic start to a new series, very readable and keeps the interest going from the first page to the last. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad,, Feb 11 2006
By Rylin "Rylin" (Edmonds, Wa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Magicians' Guild: The Black Magician Trilogy Book 1 (Mass Market Paperback)
This work is okay as far as books go. It was well written and easy to follow, but lacked the intense action for which I read these for. She can take a lesson from Brian S. Pratt who wrote The Unsuspecting Mage. There he kept the pace fast and the outcome very uncertain.
I enjoyed this book , and look forward to the next one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Formulaic and disappointing, Jul 19 2004
By Jennifer L Sigman "Opinionated" (Columbia, SC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Magicians' Guild: The Black Magician Trilogy Book 1 (Mass Market Paperback)
I wish I had gotten this from the library instead of paying money for it. Formulaic, boring, predictable, and downright dumb in the end. There's much better fiction elsewhere.
