Rendition Concering Books The Ambassador's Mission (The Traitor Spy Trilogy #1)
Sonea, once the despised commoner in the Magicians' Guild, is now a Black Magician of Kyralia. Though she is now part of the establishment, she comes to find that the past is not so easily left behind...Lorkin, Sonea's rebellious son, has volunteered to join the formidable Lord Dannyl in his new post as Guild Ambassador to Sachaka - a land ruled by cruel, slave-owning black magicians. There is suspicion that some of the Sachakans still harbor dreams of conquest, so when word comes that Lorkin has gone missing, Sonea is desperate to find him. However, Guild law states that if a Black Magician leaves the city he or she will be exiled forever.
As she fears for her missing son, Sonea dedicates herself to helping her old friend Cery. For some time, there has been fear and paranoia on the streets of Imardin. Leading thieves have been dying under irregular circumstances. The need to discover who has been picking off the leading thieves of the city is now a very personal crusade - one that Sonea must aid, for the killer appears to be using magic.
Either a member of the Guild is leading a double life as a hired killer, or there is - once again - a rogue magician on the streets of Imardin . . .

Hmm..what can I say about this read. This book dragged and bored me several times during my read, but i soldier on. Mainly because I wanted to see what had become of some of my fave characters from the previous trilogy. The struggle to stay focus was brutal!! The one upside to my pain was that the last quarter of the book picked up and was well worth all the brain draining I incurred. I'll have to hold up a while before I continue this trilogy. Actual Rating 2.5It took me a while to get into this novel, and though the plot was entertaining I never really connected with any of the characters. I plan to read more by this author in the future, and hopefully some of here other series will appeal to me more.
I was really disappointed in this. I've loved Canavan's previous work - she's one of my favorite authors! But something went wrong here. It was just so incredibly boring. There's not enough that's new, but instead a lot of time is spent explaining how things have changed from 20 years ago, or rediscovering the past that has already been explored in the Magician's Apprentice. I think Canavan would have been better off building a whole new world with new conflicts and magic rather than re-hashing
That world Building! This book was huge, like nearly 600 pages...and for 600 pages it was non-stop action!I loved this world building, I loved the idea of it too. what I wasn't a ginormous fan of is the large amount of POVs. That may be more of a personal issue but usually when there are more than a three person POV, I just get tired, but I'll go more into that in a moment. LET'S TALK PLOT!In this land is where magicians rule in guilds but those who are practitioners of 'black' magic are feared
A decade ago, when I read The Magicians Guild, the first of the Black Magician Trilogy, I was filled with excitement. Young Soneas struggle with her new found powers, her attempts to understand and survive the upper-class world she was pushed into and the complex loyalties she had to navigate had immediate appeal and, although it was a long book, kept me eagerly turning the pages to find out what happened next.For me, The Ambassadors Mission, the first volume in the Traitor Spy trilogy, has none

I was surprised to find myself struggling though this book. I have read seven other of Trudi Canavan's books and got through most of them within two or three days. This time it took me over a week.I think the two main problems are that I read The Magician's Apprentice before this one and that Canavan placed this story twenty years after the Black Magician Trilogy.Due to the circumstance that I knew a lot of the historical aspects of the story world from TMA it was very unnerving and almost
