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.

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.

Still the wonderful book I remember, BUT...

... This is still the wonderful book I remember from my childhood, and it was a pleasure to reread on the kindle. However, there are so many typos in the kindle version that I was surprised that it was even published. Characters names are frequently mispelled, and it is very distracting. I hope the editors manage to clean things up for the rest of the installments!

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.

Daine gets a job helping the royal headmistress drive a herd of ponies to Tortall, and the others soon realize that the girl's talents and horsemanship arise from magical powers. Reprint."
