Magician: Apprentice

I debated reading this after the first installment, and am glad I did. The story gains strength and depth in this second half of Magician, in my opinion.

I really liked getting to know the Tsuranni. The contrast of the two cultures appeals to me. There is a deeper look into Pug's magical power, but it remains mysterious. It's like having a quick glimpse of a Christmas present that must wait to be revealed.

Overall, I like the characters and how they play out in the story. I look forward to more adventures in the Kingdom.
