The Ambassador's Mission: Traitor Spy Trilogy, Book 1 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" And... here we go again. I really hoped it wouldn't happen, but my hunch was far away from being wrong. Trudi Canavan is a master of making a book-long intro of the story. First volume of Traitor Spy Trilogy is just over 500+ pages long book of nothing really happening. All the excitment, danger and risk that you might expect is close to zero. So what do we get? We have mages we've already known from the Black Magician Trilogy, we have a plotline that's less interesting than soap opera's script and a very little hope the next volume is gonna be a better one. I don't want fireworks, but for God's sake, I wouldn't mind some decent story to read. "

" Again another great book by Trudi Canavan. I am a big fan I have to say. I now look forwar to May ? when the 2nd book in this trilogy The Rouge is published. "

" The story is quite diverting, not too intellectual but interesting enough to keep me reading to the end. "

" The Black Magician Trilogy is a series that I couldn't stop reading until I had finished them. Reading this book filled me with nostalgia for the characters from the original trilogy and I liked learning about what happened to them. The new mysteries introduced in The Ambassador's Mission caught my interest initially but as the book went on, I found some story-lines were getting tedious and I couldn't wait for them to wrap up. All in all, a okay read :) "

" Even though this is a new trilogy that takes place 20 years after "The Black Magician" trilogy, the transition is seamless. Most characters have retained well-established roles (Rothen), other characters are being given the chance to grow (Regin), and minor characters (Savara) show up in places that make sense. Fabulous! So few series' authors can do this with skill. Canavan does and does it beautifully! "

" A great continuation of this story. The 0.5 novel Magician's Apprentice proved to be a perfect prequel to this series. "

" Despite the low rating, I did enjoy reading this. But I don't appreciate it. "

" I enjoyed this book, and I do think I'll keep reading these. "

" me gusto bastante aunque no tanto como los 3 primeros "

" I had issues with the pacing; some bits were too slow, and some went too fast. Occasionally, it just went on and on and on about things I lost interest in. An all right start; hopefully the rest of the trilogy will be a little more exciting and well paced. "

" Following the story set in the Black Magician Trilogy this book keeps the same premises in the same universe. I don't quite enjoy the story being set so much in Sachakan tough. "

" Not as good as The Black Magician Trilogy but I'm excited for the other two books. It's great "seeing" the old characters. "

" I'm not sure where the bad reviews are coming from, this is just like the first series. I don't see any departures. If you're a fan of the first series, you'll be a fan of this one as well. "

" This is not, to my mind, a strong book, but it's a pretty good book. If you like Brandon Sanderson, you might like this very much. It had a nicely imagined world but I found the characters a bit two-dimensional. "

" A little too much like the 1st series and I question the need for more gay characters. "

" disappointing :( I hope the other two in the series are better. "

" Not a bad start to the sequel trilogy following The Black Magician, but not quite up to BM. "

" I find the writing and story line quite young adult, but enjoy the plot line and the characters. "

" Wonderful start of the conclusion of the world we got to know and love in the Black Magician triology. This book is a bit slow, but I have great expectations for the triology! "

" I really enjoyed this as a sequel, am looking forward to reading Rogue. "

" A decent story even if you haven't read any of the other books in the world, but it would probably be much more significant and relevant if you had. Once again I'm fooled by a series #1 not really being a #1. "

" f**ing brilliant. Trudi Canavan is my favourite author of this decade, hands down! "

" Entertaining and easy to read. The plot isn't quite as fast paced or exciting as The Black Magician's Trilogy, but it is still interesting enough to keep the attention. I shall be buying and reading the next in the series. "

" I was disappointed with this book. After reading the Black Magician Trilogy, I was expecting a cracker from the author. I am hoping that it's the first book in the new series and she's setting up the scenes and the next one will be just as good as her other series. "

" Ovviamente leggerò anche gli altri due della trilogia, quando usciranno. È sempre bello ritrovare lo stile inconfondibile della Canavan, i luoghi familiari, vecchi e nuovi personaggi... "
