The Novice

I just finished the second in The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan.
In this book we find Sonea studying hard to be a magician.  Most of the book revolves around the bullying that she faces at the hands of some "uppercrust" magicians who feel like she doesn't belong.   Also, the revelation of the secret she knows about the High Lord, Akkarin, brings great changes to her life and her relationships with those she loves. 

I enjoyed this book, but feel like it jumped around so much from character to character it was sometimes confusing.   A quick read.  I will read the next book though because I want to see what happens next!
