Black Magician #1
by Trudi Canavan
Fantasy
Ebook, 480 Pages.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
My main issue with this book was how Sonea kept withdrawing from conflict instead of dealing with it.
I think that mainly due to my testosterone and the male ability to put EVERYTHING into terms of “fight or die”.
Something about Akkaron just doesn’t wring true. The final paragraphs made me feel much better about him and that shouldn’t be the case with a main antagonist.
Dannyl and his issues did make it such that I would not be buying this series. Deviancy has no place in my home.

Canavan was too PC for me, and I’m a mad liberal 😉

Now I’m imagining you with a full head of hippy hair, unshaved beard and shaking your head like a dog and growling 😀

It’s not that bad, although lately I’ve been instructed to let my beard grow a bit 😉

Mrs B loves the winter because I grow my beard out. She loves my hair more than I do 🙂
Is that your situation or have your Hippy Overlords commanded it thus?
