The second Book in the Trilogy The Novice was published in 2002 and is followed by The Black Magician (2003). the continuing story follows Sonea through entering the guild and after experiencing abuse from her fellow students and having her guardianship changed from Rothen to the High Lord Akkarin. After beating a bully in a duel, Sonea is faced with an unknowing future under her serious and strange guardian.

I loved the second book especially How Sonea dealt with the class abuse form the other students and the threat of the high lord Akkarin after he finds out she knows his dirty little secret. And I especially loved Sonea defeating her bully in a duel showing both the bully and the guild she wasn't to be messed with especially since she took a lot of hell from most if not all of them.

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
Alcoholism and domestic abuse creep silently into people’s lives, shattering dreams. For Pamela Lombana, the excitement of marriage turned into paralyzing fear as alcohol became her husband’s best friend. Surviving the daily physical and emotional abuse was the norm for her and their children. Full Circle tells the story of how love and God’s abiding grace helped Pamela find the strength to leave her husband, Fernando. During this journey, healing and forgiveness allowed her and the children to be there for him when he needed them the most.

"I read this at the same time as I discovered her music. It’s very shocking, full of sexual abuse, drug addiction, violence, and racism, and opened my eyes to a lot of things I hadn’t known about or understood. It made me realize where songs like Strange Fruit had come from. The rawness of those songs had their roots in a devastating history of life experience."

"I love Margaret Atwood's sequence, “The Penelopiad,” which shows us a side of Penelope that is always veiled in Homer. Atwood's Penelope struggles with the knowledge that she herself colluded with the deaths of the slave women, hanged by her son Telemachus. The theme of women's collusion with the abuse of women is an important theme, essential in our age of intersectional feminism and #MeToo."
