DESCRIPTION:
The knowledge locked away in the Great Library was meant to remain permanently sealed and letting it out could mean a repeat of the catastrophic Necromantic Wars of 500 years earlier. But all that changes when she triggers a magical trap and ends up with all the knowledge from the Great Library stuffed inside her head. Elaine is an orphan girl who has grown up in a world where magical ability brings power. Now, the Grand Sorcerer - the most powerful magician of them all - is dying, although initially that makes little difference to Elaine; she certainly doesn't have the power to compete for higher status in the Golden City. Unless she can unlock the mysteries behind her new knowledge, there is no hope for those sh
Plots within plots! I really enjoy multi-faceted plot lines and this Plots within plots! Kindle Dave I really enjoy multi-faceted plot lines and this 4-part series delivers one of the best I’ve read in years. Don’t skip paragraphs here, folks, or you’ll likely miss a subtle clue or reveal wedged into a character’s meandering thoughts.The setting for the series seems to be the Nameless World of the Schooled in Magic series, and draws wonderfully on the rich magic-science system from it. Having followed that series for years, reading this set felt like coming home.But be warned! Get all 4 and plan on a long weekend of reading :) I started my first read on a Friday and found myself with page-turners. -part series delivers one of the best I’ve read in years.

An Early, but Excellent Series from the Author The world and magic in this series bears resemblance to the author's later "Schooled in Magic" series and even the main character (Elaine) is personality-wise similar to the Schooled in Magic main character (Emily). And it's also true, as other reviewers noted, that "Schooled in Magic" is a more polished and more sophisticated work, probably because the author has simply written more books.So if you've read Schooled in Magic and will be disappointed if anything isn't up to its spectacularly high level of art, then this might not be a good series for you.On the other hand, I loved it - everything about it!.
