The Rogue by Trudi Canavan

4.0

It's been a long time since I last visited Sonea and co. in this series, and I was not disappointed. This novel introduced a new central character- a young, female novice named Lilia, who falls in with the wrong crowd early in the story. It was great to introduce some new blood into this series, and Lilia provided a fish-out-of-water perspective that Sonea had previously represented in the original trilogy.

Meanwhile, the rest of our main characters' plots carried on in much the same manner as in the previous book. Sonea is hunting a rogue magician in the city, while her son Lorkin lives as a prisoner in a faraway land. The final storyline revolves around Dannyl and his research/love life. Unfortunately his was by far the least interesting, which is a shame, as Dannyl was one of my favourite characters in the original novel.

This is a must read for fans of the original series- I'd forgotten how fond I was of all of the characters.
