The Rogue, the second book in a secondary trilogy from Canavan, stagnates and thoroughly suffers from middle book syndrome. This second trilogy follows the next generation of characters from the Black Magician trilogy that I loved so much in my teenage years.
The reason I feel so neutral about this book is the fact that the plot stagnates a lot. We set up a lot of relationships and built up a lot more of the world that the story in either trilogy had not exposed the reader to before. Otherwise, the story in this second book isn't all that memorable. Canavan's writing is solid, and a pleasure to read. This second trilogy still has Sonea as a main character, which was one of my favourite aspects of the first trilogy. I will really miss reading her chapters at the end of this series.
Overall, I am beginning think this second trilogy isn't essential to your reading experience of the world of the Black Magician trilogy.
