The Immortals Series is my favourite Tamora Pierce series, it's what got me into reading as a child. I love this book (less than the rest but still a lot) and I know that Tamora has mentioned she wishes the age gap was a little less herself so I have no issues with it.

The Immortals was a favorite from when I was younger. I reread it because I wanted to share it with my daughter, but I don't think I'll be letting her read this one. While I loved the other books in the series, I can't ignore the overt pedophilia between Daine and Numair. that's not something I want my daughter to be reading and thinking it's ok. Such a big let down after the previous books.

In terms of ranking:
4. Wolf Speaker
I usually skip this one. Idk why but it just doesn't work for me. Maybe because I enjoy/prefer Daine interacting with Numair and other Tortallans?
3. The Realms of the Gods
I don't find the realms of the gods that interesting, although I love Broadfoot and the dragons, of course.
2. Wild Magic
One of the best "intro" books to a series I've ever read. Easily in my top 20 of all time books.
1. Emperor Mage
Daine Loses Her Temper is perhaps one of the best chapter titles + understatements ever. Additionally, the dinosaurs saying goodbye never fails to make me cry, and Bone Dancer is one of my favorite friends Daine makes across the series. Zek + keys! Also I think the Graveyard Hag is a hoot.

There’s no denying that Realms of the Gods delivers in terms of scale and a mostly satisfying resolution to the book series. While it may not be perfect, the novel does make sure our heroine Daine remains the same strong-willed character we met in the first book.
As for The Immortals Quartet as a whole – I’ve been a fan of this series for a long time and as an adult I still get enjoyment each time I read them.

Great culmination of this series, it once again failed to entrance me the same way it did as a child but ultimately is a super fascinating world and young strong female character to follow. The numair/dane romance is a little less palatable as an adult but it’s still handled quite well imo
