Priestess of the White

By Trudi Canavan

Format:Hardcover

When Auraya was chosen to become a priestess, it meant leaving behind her village, her family and the friendship she had formed with Leiard, the local Dreamweaver. Masters of herb lore and healing, Dreamweavers were despised for their heathen beliefs, and Auraya knew that she must hide her respect for the godless healers if she was to succeed in her new role. Now, ten years later she is a Priestess of the White, gifted with exceptional powers by the gods. Auraya still needs time to fully adapt to her new abilities but time is the one thing she does not have. Mysterious black-clad sorcerers plague the land, raising fears that these powerful strangers may even be stronger than the gods' chosen five. As hostile forces gather momentum, the White work to seal alliances wherever they can. If the land is to be drawn back from the brink of war, Auraya will need to master her Gifts and call upon all of the courage and wisdom at her disposal. For if the tide is not turned quickly, Auraya fears she may be remembered as the last Priestess of the White. . .

The characters and writing style were awesome. I enjoyed the various perspectives one sees the story from, especially those short little sidestories about a singular soldier in battle or a priest being utterly stunned to see an intruder on their holy ground. It just gives the book so much more depths and realness. However I am a sucker for magic and seeing the workings behind it and the training, and that was not as present as I had wished for. But in exchange politics and culture was very central to the story, which I enjoyed reading about almost as much.
