The Ambassador's Mission by Trudi Canavan

4.0

My rating is actually a 4.5...only because it took me a little while to really get into all of the main story lines. I was really intrigued by the plots involving Sonea and her son Lorkin, especially after Lorkin became involved with Tyvara. But the plot with Dannyl the historian and the plot with Cery the thief took a good 70 pages or so to really start to get into. I mean, I liked Dannyl and enjoyed his enthusiasm for history, but once he was separated from Lorkin, I actually sort of lost interest in what was going on with him in his search to find Lorkin. Anyway, I discovered Trudi Canavan after watching an author guide episode of Sword & Laser on YouTube, and I'm glad I started reading. Yes, this is her second trilogy, but I honestly like that I could get into the character, understand the world, and the magic system without having read the first trilogy. That's really nice. However, having said that, I now know that I will be finishing up the Traitor Spy trilogy and then going back to read the original trilogy.
