Pastime Pleasures #30 – The Magicians’ Guild by Trudi Canavan

My feature, Pastime Pleasures is finally back after a long absence! Today is the turn of The Magicians’ Guild by Trudi Canavan. I’m not sure it will be posted as regularly as before but it is good to have this feature back and to share books that have given me joy in the past.
