Trudi Canavan has followed her astonishing success with Priestess of the White with her next volume, Last of the Wilds, set to go straight into the Sunday Times top ten hardback fiction bestsellers this weekend my chum George at Orbit tells me (with a big grin on his face no doubt). And that is the general top ten hardback fiction, not just SF&F, which gives you an idea of how big a following Trudi has built up in a relatively short time. Last of the Wilds is the second part of Trudi’s new Age of Five; if you haven’t picked up on her previous series then I highly recommend this new one as a good starting point (I loved Priestess of the White – now out in paperback – an utterly enthralling fantasy, beautifully written). Big congrats to Trud and the Orbit team.
