dearest Trudi & Team!
first of all, many many lovely greetings from Switzerland! A huge, huge “THANK YOU” for bringing the world of Kyralia to us readers & sharing the life of Sonea and all her companions with us!
i always hate it, if i see, that each book is coming to end. And its always a big disaster for me, until the new book arrives
i know, you are doing a lot of things & i guess you must be very busy.
But please, please, dont let the story end by the last book of the traitor spy trilogy!
on my knees begging you, to share with your fans and readers, the future of Sonea & Regin, the guild of magicians, Dannyl & Tayend, Lorkin & Tyvara…
puh, sounds like i’m addict
Sean
Dear Trudi,
I can just join Sean with begging *kneeldown*
I love your books over all because your characters are so brilliantly written.
It is always hard to let these beloved people go everytime I finish another book.
The end of the traitor spy trilogy feels like hanging on a cliff without seeing the rescue.
I hope you have a nice day, wherever you are right now ^^

Dear Misses Canavan,
I have very recently finished the “black magicians guild” – trilogy and thought it very entertaining and addictive. I would like to thank You for your story and for Sonea, who inspired me to enjoy learning again.
But to be blunt, I think it the worst of all mistakes that you [spoilers removed - answers can be found in the FAQ].
sincerely,
Aylis
Dear Misses Canavan,
just a little thank you for your inspiring,entertaining and reflective writing.
I have followed all the Kyralia – books with huge exaltation and many sleepless nights
).
Therefore I am very agog and curious of the new triology.
Please carry on .
Regards from Germany

Dear Trudi,
I just wanted to say that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the Black Magician Trilogy. I just saved the last few chapters for this morning and sat in a coffee shop to enjoy it before university! It’s really nice to find a book in this genre with such a strong female character, and evidently a fantastic female author.
Anyway, I just thought I’d let you know how addicted I was to your trilogy, how well written it was and how I’m sure I will be as addicted to the next.
Also, thanks for removing spoilers from the guestbook

Dear Trudi,
I’m a huge fan from Malaysia. My brother is also a fan of yours, he loves to read it 1st hand after getting the book without me reading 1st.
I have read cover-to-cover of every single book you publish. The fact that I live in Malaysia has a huge disadvantage, I can’t get your newly released books once they have released. I have to wait for about a year. The rogue, had me waiting for a year until it arrived in Malaysia. I just got it recently. Read it all in 2 days. I just can’t stand waiting for a year long, therefore I order the traitor queen from UK. I always get hooked up by your writing and I just can’t seem to put down the book.
Warm Regards from Malaysia,
Dhaarshynni ^^
Hey Trudi!
Do you know what the Traitor Spy Trilogy are named in Danish?
I come from Denmark, and i want to read it, but i don’t know the name of it! :/
Clara D.-G.
I don’t think they’re published in Danish yet. Sorry!
Hey! I’ ve just finished The Traitor Queen. It’s fantastic! <3 But I was expecting something more between Sonea and Regin. I'm so glad I finally have TTQ on my bookshelf.
I read everything connected to The Magician Trilogy and I can't wait for Millennium's Rule but luckily by the time the book will be released I have time to read Age of the Five.
Hugs and kisses from Poland!
I stumbled upon the magicians apprentice by pure chance. I bought this book without any knowledge of who Trudi Canavan was and well that was the best decision I have made all year. Two days later I was back to buy more from the series.
Finished The Ambassador’s mission and the Rouge a few days later now here I am searching for the Traitor Queen to buy after I discovered the list of books on the second page (of The Rouge) had lied! There is a third book! which I should of, in hindsight, seen coming.. when it says trilogy on the front cover.
Your books are great and you should feel great for writing them. I look foreword to reading them all.
Greetings from The Mornington peninsula.
Dear Trudi,
I’d just like to take this opportunity to thank you for the Black Magician Trilogy. I don’t think anything could have prepared me for the emotional impact this story has had on me; especially book three “The High Lord”. I look forward to reading more of your work, in the not too distant future, as you have now become one of my favourite authors.
Best Wishes,
Ian from London, UK
As I have seen you answered one comment in here I decided to leave a message here too (I sent another message to your email).
I would like to know if you were planning a tour through South America, if you ever do please come to Peru, where you will find me and the famous ruins of Machu Picchu. This is a nice destination, the only problem is that it is pretty far away from Australia. Please come, please, please and a final please.
I love your books and I am still trying to get The Traitor Queen shipped to Peru.
Also please please please answer this comment or my mail. At least say ok or read PLEASE
Thanks;
Magicaid (Gonzalo)
Hi Gonzalo. I have no plans to tour South America, but if I do travel there I will post about it on this site.
Thanks for answering and I will be waiting for you to come someday, South America is a really nice place to visit, there are lot of things to see.
Magicaid (Gonzalo)
I will tell you when your books arrive here to Peru. Btw the Age of the Five Trilogy isn’t for sale here as a book. But you can get them on kindle.
Gonzalo
Dear Trudi,
Some time ago, I read in one of your many interviews that if you were to write a seperate story of a character from the BMT series, you might go for Savara. My question is: do you (still) seriously consider doing such a thing? I’ll just say that I would find it awesome if you did (I hope that doesn’t violate the rule of story suggestions….).
Greetings from Raimo of the Netherlands (to whom you also sent the three dutch BMT books, that you first thought were danish^^)
I will also be following this blog in order to know more details about those contests that are for winning signed books. Please make more of them. I have never participated on them though, i will try to participate in the next one
Gonzalo
And for all the Trudi lovers, I recommend you to come and visit this site: http://canavansbooks.wikia.com
It is a wiki about everything related, and if you happen to like to write we would greatly thank you (I mean everybody who reads this) if you could come by to the site and edit something or maybe creating an article
Thanks for all those interested and we hope to see you visiting the site.
Magicaid and friends.
I finished reading The Rogue and the Mad Apprentice Novella.
Great, as always.
Thanks Trudi for all your work
Gonzalo
If you are coming to Hawaii, why don`t you come to South America too?
I would like to know you
Your Peruvian fan
PS: The Traitor Spy Trilogy finally arrived here!!!
Anyway I had already asked for it to Amazon and I prefer to read books in their original language, no translations. Now the only books that aren`t sold here yet are the Age of the Five Trilogy
Hi Trudi
firstly thank you for some amazing reading, I’ve loved all your magician series.
Secondly please don’t end them with The traitors queen because all us fans would love to read more about the characters futures.
And thirdly is there any possibility these books will ever be films because they would be fantastic on the big screen and loved by all
With kind regards Tanya
ps you inspire me to continue writing so thank you for that to
Dear Mrs. Canavan
I just want to thank you for your amazing books.
They’re really good!!!
I finished reading The rogue one hour ago.
Are you going to have a tour in germany again???
Greetings Bookworm
PS.: hope you can understand my bad english
At last! I got my hardback copy of The Traitor Queen, I will start reading it soon, I am soooooo happy!
Thanks Trudi for creating the incredible universe of Sonea and friends.
Hi!
I’ve read all your books, and I really liked them (I liked everything: the plot, the characters,…).
But I noticed all the animals in your world are invented except for horses. Is there a reason for that or do you just like horses a lot and wanted them in your book?
It’d be great if you answered, because I was talking it over with a friend and now we’re going crazy over it!
Thanks
Hi Trudie
Greetings here from South-Africa. My hole mission to read your books was when I borrowed your book , The migicians apprentice from my local library. It was great so the next week I went back and asked them to see if they can find the rest of your books for me. My luck was in because they informed me that they found The magicians guild , The novice and The high lord for me. I`ve read all of them and the story was excellent I could not stop reading. I`ve finished The ambassadors mission as well. I am really looking forward to read more of your books I enjoy the caracters a lot and when you start reading you just have to finish to book . This is a GREAT FANTASY!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for your books. They are one of the best in the world ( and I read a lot so I know). They only last to less time, since they are impossible to put down. You really are one of the best writers in the world.
I really enjoyed Sonea story in every novel. I really loved that she had another [spoiler removed], and especially who he was. To me it was the best part in the Traitor Spy trilogy. To see their relationship evolving to more. I really hope that one day you will continue their story line, and perhaps even sometimes about his perspective. Your stories are so great and I really can’t wait for the next one. There is still so much to tell.
Dear Trudi, I would like to know when is going to translate into Spanish the trilogy Age of five.
Dear Trudi,
I wanna thank you for your books. On Saturday I bought the second edition of your book in Czech translation. And I’m very pleased with the dedication to us, your Czech readers. I hope you will visit Czech republic.
Best Wishes,
Alena
hi and thanks for the black magician trilogy – just finished it and it was awsome ^^. BUT i have one question that i have sleepless nights for; who was the third contact for akkarin? he said he had another in a useful place but no one comes to mind o_O anyone know? pls answer :-Q
no need to answer question – just finished traitor spy trilogy ^^
I read both the Black Magician’s Trilogy & the Traitor Spy Trilogy, and now I am at a loss as to what I should read now.
I want more novels in this setting! You are a fantastic writer, and while I am sure I could easily get hooked reading the Priestess of the White, the fact is – I want more Sonea, I want more Lorkin, I want more of the Traitors.
Are you bored of the setting, or would you consider another trilogy there? I know some people say ‘Leave them wanting more.’ but I honestly think there is so much more to have and so many of us would like to have it. The detail, the history, the magic – it is all just so fluid and perfect, it would be a shame if we never got to delve back into it.
hi trudi,
i quite enjoy your books. the one thing i had difficulty with was where you wrote about going north and reaching warmer waters. being north of the equator it did take a little to wrap my head around.
after realizing you were from aus(reading about the author does help) it made sense from your prospective.
aly – devout reader and bookworm
Hey trudi, I love your books, they are extremely good. I totally want to read the black goblin men but only the one called Sonea I’m from Denmark so there is some spelling errors as I am lord bad english hope you will write more books greeting the one who ka like your books ps i have birthday today
Just finished reading The Magicians Apprentice and loved it. A well written and fun read. I will be looking to read more of Trudi’s books now.
Having read The Wheel of Time series, it is nice to see someone who has also created a new civilzation and fantasy land to read.
Thanks for the entertainment…look forward to more tales.
