About the book

"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.

    Sonea entwickelt magische Kräfte und soll in die Magier-Guilde eintreten, wehrt sich aber mit aller Macht dagegen, da die Magier und den einfachen Menschen verhasst sind.

    Boah das Buch hat sich GEZOGEN. Wow ich habe tatsächlich über 1 Jahr an den 365 Seiten gelesen. Der Zwischenteil der Verfolgungsjagd ging VIEL VIEL VIEL zu lange und wirkte repetitiv. Es hat mich echt Kraft gekostet dieses Buch weiterzulesen. Aber da meine Mama mir die Trilogie empfohlen hatte, wollte ich doch wissen, was sie daran so gut fand. Am Ende ist das Buch dann doch wieder echt spannend. Trotzdem nur 2.5 ⭐️ weil es sich doch sehr zieht.

    This book has been on my radar probably ever since it was first published, and on my shelf for about half that time too. The story is fairly simple, and there's definitely room for fleshing out the characters, but the way I've looked at it is I've just finished the first third of a compete story. So, these failings are forgivable. What got me hooked though, and the reason I will keep reading are two things. Firstly, the relationships between the main set of characters were special, something you could really believe in, even if you didn't know those characters as well as you could. The second is that, there were enough seeds scattered for future plot developments, that despite one arc having finished, there's enough intrigue to urge me to continue. I believe the second two books are improvements in the first, and personally I'm looking forward to finding out if that is the case!
