That was a solid trilogy. They handled some aspects of magic a bit different, which gave the story a fresh touch.
I wonder why that books were never made into a movie or complete movie franchise.
There is also a sequel trilogy:
The Traitor Spy Trilogy

Yeah, already got the books. Will probably take a break after the first trilogy though.
