I read a fantasy book series called The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan. It primarily follows a female protagonist, but somewhere in the second book it also starts adopting the viewpoint of a male character in the story, Dannyl, and his interactions with another man who is attracted to him and is a "lad" (the admittedly hilarious term for a gay man in the world).

This intrigued me because male-male attraction had never featured in any of the other dozen or more fantasy series I had read. I couldn't put my finger on why I was so absorbed into this little side-plot at the time, but now it's clear I was in the desert of heteronormativity and craving queer media and stories wherever I could find them. The character Dannyl originally presents as straight, politely rejecting the attraction of the other man while also sympathizing with his plight (as Dannyl himself had been teased along similar lines in school). However, it turns out that Dannyl had actually been subconsciously using his magic to suppress his homosexual attraction to avoid ridicule and persecution, and he only realizes this after a dreadful ordeal leaves him drained of all his magic. I had barely seen any portrayals of the psychological toll of being in the closet, let alone one in a fantasy world, and this really stuck with me.

Dannyl in the end decides to accept who he is and be with the man he loves, and I think this was also one of the first times I can recall a gay love story being celebrated as opposed to mocked or, at most, briefly acknowledged. I think it was a subtle gay awakening for me, opening my mind to the possibility of happiness and love in non-heteronormative relationships.

Title: The novice (1975) Vote: 5/10 The plot is based on a boy who becomes infatuated with the novice who takes care of his sick relative. Love story with a couple of spicy scenes which however resembles a Greek tragedy drama. No one who speaks clearly and many characters who lie even to themselves.

The Black Magician trilogy, by Trudi Canavan (January 2023)

sorry you're getting the kinda ugly French covers because the other covers are worse

This year, like every other, the magicians of Imardin gather to purge the city of undesirables. Cloaked in the protection of their sorcery, they move with no fear of the vagrants and miscreants who despise them and their work-—until one enraged girl, barely more than a child, hurls a stone at the hated invaders...and effortlessly penetrates their magical shield. What the Magicians' Guild has long dreaded has finally come to pass. There is someone outside their ranks who possesses a raw power beyond imagining, an untrained mage who must be found and schooled before she destroys herself and her city with a force she cannot yet control.

Would I recommend it to anyone? I've already had two of my friends read it, hehe. So yes, it's a good ol' fantasy series like we like them.

Level of (dis)satisfaction based on the summary and my expectations? It was a reread, this series is one I grew up with so it's one of my favorites. Since it had been a while since I'd last read it, I wanted to see if it stood the test of time in a way.

My thoughts on it? Some elements have aged and I think some of the romances we see are pretty awkward. But I'm still in love with the world and the story as a whole.

French version under the cut

Comme chaque année, les magiciens d'Imardin se réunissent pour nettoyer la ville des indésirables. Protégés par un bouclier magique, ils avancent sans crainte au milieu des vagabonds, des orphelins et autres malandrins qui les haïssent. Soudain, une jeune fille ivre de colère leur jette une pierre... qui traverse sans effort le bouclier magique dans un éclair bleu et assomme l'un des mages.

Ce que la Guilde des magiciens redoutait depuis si longtemps est arrivé : une magicienne inexpérimentée est en liberté dans les rues ! Il faut la retrouver avant que son pouvoir incontrôlé la détruise elle-même, et toute la ville avec elle. La traque commence...

Est-ce que tu le conseillerais à quelqu’un ? J'ai déjà fait lire la série à deux amis, héhé. Du coup oui, c'est une bonne série de fantasy comme on les aime.

Niveau de déception/satisfaction par rapport au résumé et tes attentes ? C’était une relecture, cette série fait partie de celles qui ont bercé mon adolescence et c’est donc une de mes préférées. Comme ça faisait des années que je l’avais pas lue, je voulais voir si elle était à l’épreuve du temps en quelque sorte.

Avis sans spoiler ? Certains éléments ont vieilli et je trouve que les différentes romances qu’on a au fil des tomes sont assez maladroites. Mais je suis toujours aussi fan de l’univers et de l’histoire de manière générale.

people who adore harrow’s character archetype (furious lesbian goblin who will stop at NOTHING seriously NOTHING to be the best at the only thing that she feels gives her value) should watch ‘the novice’ starring isabella fuhrman
