Magician's Guild- Trudy Canavan

Each year, the magicians of Imardin gather together to purge the city streets of vagrants and miscreants. Masters of the disciplines of magic, they know that no ordinary lowlife can oppose them. But their protective shield is not as imprenetrable as they think.
Sonea, angry, frustrated and outraged by the treatment of her family and friends, throws a stone at the shield, putting all her rage behind it. She is amazed when it sails unrestricted through the barrier and knocks a magician unconscious.
The Guild’s worst fear has been realised. There is an untrained magician loose in Imardin who must be found before her uncontrolled powers can destroy herself and the city.

Magician's Guild is the first book in a series of three, and it's one of the best fantasy's I've read in a while. I read it in one day. It was that good. :P So far the second one has lived up to expectations, so don't worry about an amazing first book, followed by something less impressive.

As far as content wise, there are a few words some might consider bad, but they fit with the context of the book, so I'm more accepting of those, rather than someone who has a bad mouth for no purpose other than to fit those words into the book. /ramble :P Other than that, the rest of the book was clean!

Again, this book was really good. Interesting MC, good plot, not at all boring, and just a great read! I'd recommend it to anyone who's able to read it.

I don't know what to do next.

So, once again, I have missed several weeks. :P I give my sincerest apologies to my..two followers. :P At the moment, I am at my grandma's house and away from my beloved bookshelves. That also means I can't decide what book to do next. But! I will find a book to review as soon as I make it home! But I'll probably be pretty busy with helping with the move and everything, so it might be a few days, but it will be as soon as possible!! :D

Anybody have a specific genre they want a book review from? :)
