This is probably my favorite of all Tamora Pierce's series. Some of my friends think it's too long and boring, but I think it has more depth than the rest. There is one and a half whole books building up to the climax, and that means there…

This was the most innovative book I have had the chance to read in a long time. Packed with mysteries, adventure and a very uncommon heroine. Of course there are some political subjects in the story, yet it did not take are attention away…

Fantastic book! Another hidden gem I found in a random scan of another library's shelves. This book is part of the larger Tortall Books collection, which showcases a land rich in magic, spies, intrigue, splashes of romance and lots of…

Another great Tortall book from Tamora Pierce with her trademark strong female characters. A little to political for my taste, but good nontheless.
