Will I Ever Learn?

Another YA trilogy, really Karen?  Another book that is just a beginning, like some bad joke.  A lot of interesting introductions to characters and places that seem exciting but are never used in an interesting way.  Why are all of these trilogies instead of just long books?  Because really that is what they should be. When the books are all put together it is one story, not three. 

46. The Magician’s Guild

Let's see if you have heard this one before?

A girl, who’s parents died, lives in the slums and hangs out with thieves.  Then one day she makes something happen but she doesn’t know how.  Turns out there are magicians who know exactly what happened, and now one of the most powerful, male ones wants to find her and help her.  So he brings her to the magic school, and she loves it but is torn between staying or returning to her friends.  But she has to stay because her magic is so strong and she needs to be taught. How strong is she, and why is she important?  We don’t know because that part must come in the other books. 

All this book does is introduce us to the world and the characters but not to the intrigue or the development.  My frustration is that I liked this book, it is a good start, but why does it stop?  I hate that instead of enjoying this book I felt cheated by it.  I don’t think I care enough to read the other two books though.
