English readers may know Carola Dunn from her Daisy Dalrymple books, but she is originally English and has written a fair number of regencies. It looks like most have only been published in the US, although they are available on Amazon as Kindle editions.
The three books are very much related and should be read in order to give you the bigger picture; this book and the previous volume very much cross over, almost like one story.
The Bandersnatch (199 KP) rated The Novice (Black Magician Trilogy, #2) in Books
Nov 7, 2019
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.

He's virtually unrecognizable here.
Mind-bending action/adventure by Christopher Nolan - who directed The Dark Knight trilogy - following a team of crooks who specialise in extracting information from their targets subconscious whilst said target is asleep.
When a job goes wrong, Cobb (di Caprio) is thrown a lifeline by his target (Ken Watanabe): rather than stealing information, he wants him to implant an idea in another persons subconscious i.e. Inception.
With a quite impressive cast list - Leonardo di Caprio, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe, that-now-grown-up-kid-from-Third-Rock-From-The-Sun (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Cillian Murphy, this might take a while to get going but is undeniably visually impressive once it does!
