REVIEW:
Trudi came to my attention with her Black Magician trilogy and whilst at times I wasn’t with some of the characterisation I did see the sheer talent and passion behind the piece. Here in her first book in a brand new series (Traitor Spy) the reader is thrust back into the world and will soon be screaming as the events unfurl at a break neck pace.
Well written with a great lead character, the author has more than generated an offering that will please the fantasy pantheon. Add to the mix reasonable prose, solid description and you know that it’s going to be a solid offering. Personally, I think this is perhaps some of Trudi’s best work and when an author continues to learn and push their own boundaries, you know that they are worth following. A real delight to read and hopefully something a few will pick up to enjoy.
