The Ambassador's Mission by Trudi Canavan
4.0
Good setup for the trilogy but lacks action
It's a bit of a slow moving book, which is probably due to it being the first of the trilogy. A lot of time is spent on small scenes, but the action scenes seem to last a mere page before it's on to the next small , detailed scene. That being said, even with so much setup, it's hard to determine things upcoming. Sure there are heroes, denoted by which characters the chapters follow, but there's not really a good sense of anything upcoming we are preparing for. But, again, it is just the first book in the trilogy.

Things are finally happening
It's a shame it took the entire second book for things to actually begin to unfold. Hopefully, the last book has some more action and storylines coming together.

The Traitor Queen by Trudi Canavan

Lackluster climax
It's a shame that it took two books and 400 more pages before the battle finally happened and was contained to a mere chapter or two. Then to have the last 150 pages or so spent quickly tying up the loose ends made the ending feel quite rushed. So many pages of this trilogy were spent on scenes with such low impact, detailing everything as though it was important, that I almost wish one or two characters were left out all together since their storylines tended to put a damper on the main action lines.
