2021 book 73

 Trudi Canavan’s The Novice

The second book on this series is kind of an improvement; there are several more POV characters, there is a lot of fun library research, there is the start of a cute romance between two dudes. The protagonist has the usual “no one at this training accepts me” but here it’s not because she’s a girl who wants to be a warrior, but a poor girl who has magical talent, and the rich assholes bully her MERCILESSLY. It’s unpleasant. I am interested to see how things wrap up in the finale, though. B+.
