Product Description
Unable to avoid being drawn into the terrible conflict, Auraya, now protector of the Siyee, fears she will be unable to meet the conditions of the all-powerful gods she once served. And an offer from a mysterious woman may be impossible for Auraya to refuse, but, if revealed, would brand her an enemy of the gods. Now, the immortal Wilds will not be deterred in their quest for powerful, long-buried secrets. But they have deadly adversaries who also seek the world-shattering truth . . . and it may appear in a form that no one anticipates.

 WONDERFUL WORK! June 1, 2008
If you're a fan of fantasy/sci-fi novel, then you must have this trilogy. ITS WONDERFUL. You should also read The Black Magician Trilogy. Trudi Canavan is truly a GENIUS STORYTELLER!
Amazing series February 13, 2008
I just started that book. But if it is as good as the two previous ones, it has to be amazing.
I bought these after I read the Black Magician trilogy, from the same author. It's rare I buy books from an author I already read (I like to change), unless they are truly good. These are.
It's not the usual fantasy, lots of surprises compared to what we would expect if it were common fantasy. I really love this trilogy ! And would strongly recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy, or who wants to start reading some!

This is the 3rd book in the series and was well worth waitng for. Trudi Canavan has a great imagination, but an easy, readable style.
 Don't expect too much... August 10, 2007

I really liked Canavan's first trilogy (The Magician's Guild) and so I thought I would give this one a try. The first two books weren't that great, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised by the poor quality of this book as well.
Plot Development:
Canavan does a poor job developing the plot. Occurrences seem contrived and hurried. For example, **SPOILER COMING** in the end everyone just says, "Oh well, our God's are dead" and that's it. She goes through the characters one by one, and we get to see each one just sigh and say, "gosh, that sucks". I also thought Auraya being in jail was odd. It was almost as if Canavan didn't know what to do with her and needed some place to keep her until she was needed again at which point she conveniently breaks out.
Character Development:
The character development is weak. Auraya is two-dimensional which made her extremely annoying. Often Canavan just tells you what her characters are thinking or feeling and then adds a cliched action to illustrate it. I don't know how many times I had to read "Auraya was hurt (or some other sad emotion) because (fill in something related to Wilar). She tried to force it from her mind (or some other action to indicate her strength and resolve) and continued on with whatever she was doing". Another classic example is Nekaun. He just all of a sudden becomes this unrecognizably evil and crazy guy.
Depth:
And lastly, everything ends up okay. There is no real suffering. The good guys are good guys, and the bad guys are bad guys. And good things happen to the good guys and bad things happen to the bad guys.
I would say if you don't have anything else to read, and you need something to pass the time, this would be a good book to pick. But don't expect too much.

A terrific continuation of the first two books with lots of surprises at the end. Makes me wish there was a 4th book being considered.
