Review:This is the best of the Lioness series, in my opinion. I came back to this series after having read it in middle school, and then subsequently reading her later books. I can't help thinking that Alanna shows some qualities of being too perfect and having all of these great guys falling for her (that along with the purple eyes almost makes her seem like a Mary Sue, though I don't think that it completely fits). I love the characters of Thayet and Buri, and the conversations between Jonathan an... Read more

Review:I couldn't put this book down, staying up most of the night to finish it. The plot sweeps you up and carries you away until you're racing against the clock with Beka. While I agree with some other reviews that Beka's late fiancee seems to be irrelevant to the plot, it certainly isn't enough to detract from the beauty of this final installment. New characters are interesting and engaging, in particular the depth and complexity of Farmer's character continues to keep the reader enraptured and root... Read more

Review:Meet Beka Cooper, a headstrong, clever girl with determination like a terrier. She resides in Corus, the capital city of the mythical continent of Tortall. Ever since she was small, she has been unearthing terrible crimes. So it's no wonder that she joins the Provost's Dogs, a group of elite police whose goal is to patrol Tortall and enforce justice when needed. Upon joining as a Puppy, the term for a rookie Dog, Beka is pleasantly surprised to discover that she is to be taught by Goodwin and Tu... Read more

Review:The first book of this series is the only one I've truly truly enjoyed ot be honest so far-the second was a bit shocking. But the third-well, lemme start at the beginning.
Alanna spends much of her times fighting a recessive string of battles-they seem to lap over one another and it gets little unending after awhile. In a shortening: It gets BORING folks. I enjoyed the Bazhir-they reminded me of India and the Middle East combined. But I did get a little tired of the continual spew of Alanna ... Read more

Review:Be warned: there are spoilers ahead! First of all, I would like to say that I adore the Song of the Lioness and the Immortals quartets. They are original and just...wonderful! Unfortunately, I discovered them in 1998, around the time when Realms of the Gods came into paperback. I have been waiting ever since then for more Tortall books to come out (and was VERY disappointed when I read Sandry's Book, only to discover it had nothing to do with Tortall). So when I saw First Test in a store one day... Read more

Review:Wild Magic is the first Immortals book in the seires.A threeteen
year old named Daine was hired a job by Onua to help take a herd
of ponies to Tortall.This book was recommened to me by my best
friend.Once I got it the book pulled me into the storie.I felt
I was Daine not me anymore.I didn't think that it would have so many monsters in it,like Griffens and Stormwings.And Numair,when
they talked about he I didn't think he was the most powerful mage I was as suprised as Daine.Numair ... Read more

Review:This book was yet another classic from the Tamora Pierce we've all come to love. The reunion of all the characters is nice, even if it's not completely necessary to the story and Aly is such a fun character. Personally I found that the lucky she exerted was a bit much in finding masters both kind and unabusive, but as fate would have it, gods had a hand in it, so it's answered nicely before I got too annoyed by the unlikelyhood of it.My only real qualms about this series is that there will only...

Review:Veralidaine Sarrasri, commonly called Daine, receives a cry for help from the wolves of the Long Lake Pack. They tell Daine about the tree-cutting and awful amount of noise that is scaring away all of the prey in Dunlath Valley. When Daine and Numair finally arrive in Dunlath, they realize that there is much more going on then that. They find out that Lady Yolane and Tristan, Numair's old classmate, are planning something that will jeopardize Queen Thayet's throne.
In the second book of The I... Read more
