Time to get back to looking at characters, this time from The Young Sorceress.  I won’t be giving any spoilers… that is, if you have read the previous three books (and probably book 0).  If you haven’t read any of them, then spoiler alert.

Senta, the main character in the series, is the first to appear in this book.  I wanted to let the reader know right away that Senta wasn’t the same as she was two years earlier in The Drache Girl.  She’s much more powerful and has a much more complicated relationship with those around her.  We see right from the start that things are not going well with her boyfriend Graham or her mentor/guardian Zurfina.  In addition, her somewhat more than friends relationship with Saba Colbshallow is troubling because since the last book, he has gotten married.

Senta faces challenges in this book that she hasn’t faced before and is different than the tension that happens in the next book as well.  When I get to talking about her in The Two Dragons, I’ll explain that a bit more.
