About this ebook

"We should expect this young woman to be more powerful than our average novice, possibly even more powerful than the average magician."

This year, like every other, the magicians of Imardin gather to purge the city of undesirables. Cloaked in the protection of their sorcery, they move with no fear of the vagrants and miscreants who despise them and their work—until one enraged girl, barely more than a child, hurls a stone at the hated invaders . . . and effortlessly penetrates their magical shield.

What the Magicians' Guild has long dreaded has finally come to pass. There is someone outside their ranks who possesses a raw power beyond imagining, an untrained mage who must be found and schooled before she destroys herself and her city with a force she cannot yet control.

Ratings and reviews

It's cool. Cara penyajian yang lain dari dunia "harry potter". Karena harry potter laris manis jadi banyak juga buku2 bertema sama yang muncul dan ikut laris ;D kita lihat saja buku kedua. Sayangnya belum ada edisi bahasa indonesianya. Atau aku belum menemukannya saja? Yang kurang dari buku ini menurutku adalah latar belakang lokasi dan waktu. Karena terus terang sulit membentuk imajinasi dari situasi yang diceritakan. Hasil akhirnya kurang mengena dan kurang terpatri dalam pikiran. Mungkin itu kekurangannya kalau dibandingkan dengan Harry Potter.

Amazing fantasy story and setting. I know I'm a little late in my review of this series, but I bought them now with my adult money because I read them as a kid. 10/10, would rate again.

The first half of the book is basically hide and seek. It does get more interesting twards then end.
