Currently reading Naruto fanfiction.

Their are some amazing fanfics written on fanfiction.net. The style, story and depth always feels so professional.

Am currently reading a Naruto fanfiction. Dancing with Demons by Daystar Clarion.

Here's the link : http://m.fanfiction.net/s/3227295/1/  

Check it out. Even if you haven't seen the anime or read the Naruto manga. It's still a great story as the characters have their own appeal.

Warning (if you do check it out): May contain scenes of guts, gore and cannibalistic nature.

Enjoy.

Traitor Queen (Traitor Spy Trilogy)By Trudi Canavan

Follow up to the Black Magician trilogy. I loved the fact that the most dominant character's from the Magicians trilogy appeared in this. Obviously they would as the Traitor Spy Trilogy took place twenty years later and it was good to see our favorites Sonea and Cery pop back up even some of our less liked one's such as Regin, though he redeemed himself at the end of the Magicians trilogy, even if Sonea still held a grudge.

The Traitor Spy Trilogy revolved around Lorkin, Sonea and Lorlen (deceased) son aswell as Cery and his thieves roads. The series was very gripping. Enjoyed reading the after reactions to how people responded to Sonea and her black magic. Which was awe and fear whilst the magicians guild had her movements restricted yet she raised her son singled handled quite fast. Throughout the twenty year's she never entered another relationship as people either feared her or wanted her popularity.

Though this book does not mainly focus on Sonea, only a quarter of it does, the rest is all Lorkin, Cery and Dannyl. But for me I focused on mainly Sonea as I was so use to reading her story.

I can honestly say, I found the ending lacking for various reason. 1. The Sachkan Traitor war ending quite fast and somewhat less happening from the Magician trilogy. 2. I was rooting for Regin and Sonea once I started the Traitor Spy series and was ecstatic it happened. I also found their relationship lacking, it wasn't very in depth nor did they push for one another. Yes, Regin finally made a move and convinced her but after that it just ended. I would have like to see some more. Their were a few other things that were also less defined and not fully divulged into.

All in all the last book felt rushed, as if the author lost her interest or maybe had enough. I'm not faulting Trudi Canavan as I've tried my hand in writing and I have to say it is bloody hard. Maybe she got writers block or lost her muse and pushed out what she could to make it fit.

It's a great series but to me the last one felt less. Maybe cause I didn't want it to end.

Definitely a good read. Enjoy.
