My Favorite Series

This was my first book by Tamora Pierce I read and it's still my favorite. The characters are multidimensional and easy to relate to. I love that she continues characters across series, letting each new addition be another window into the world of Tortall. Great for all ages.

Love the Magic

If you love books of magic you'll like this book. The story is simple but fun. You won't be taken down any tragic paths. The book is intended for teenagers, and I think its a good book for them. I didn't give the book five stars because the plot is relatively simple, but I love the magic, so I recommend this book to magic fantasy lovers who don't want an emotional roller coaster ride but just want to be entertained with some good fantasy.

love this book

Tamora Pierce is one of my all time favorite authors who could only improve upon her writing skills by turning out her books a bit faster. This book like most of her books has wonderful characterization and story line. The world she creates is intriguing and everyone in it seems real and fascinating.

Confusing and not capturing

Just finished "Wild Magic," and I'm not thrilled. It's okay, and I really enjoyed reading about Daine's finding a family after a hard past, but there's no clarity to the plot brewing behind Daine's training until the last two chapters of the novel, and there's very little clarity. The bronze threads, the "seeing" inside of animals when she heals people, the badger (though I'm sure that will be explained later on,) her death and revival, and many other aspects were very vague and confusing, and I'm left wanting to read a little more, but not three more books.
People seem to rave about Tamora Pierce as one of the best authors ever. I guess her work is just not for me.
In short, don't trust a majority opinion; read for yourself before you judge. You may be surprised. You may love her work, or not, but I don't think many people can argue that the ideas were really good; it was just how she presented them that is left to judge.

Thirteen-year-old DaIne has always had a knack with animals, but it's not until she's forced to leave home that she realizes it's more than a knack -- it's magic. With this wild magic, not only can Daine speak to animals, but also she can make them obey her. Daine takes a job handling horses for the Queen's Riders, where she meets the master mage Numair and becomes his student.

Under Numair's guidance, Daine explores the scope of her magic. But she begins to sense other beings too: immortals. These bloodthirsty monsters have been imprisoned in the Divine Realms for the past four hundred years, but now someone has broken the barrier. It's up to Daine and her friends to defend their world from an immortal attack.
