Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce

kebreads's review against another edition

4.0

I've read this book before, but I always enjoy reading it again. It if full of marvelous characters. Some characters are from other series and some are new. I think the magic highlighted in this book is fascinating.

Content: some violence, some innuendo

This was a quick, easy read, but there's really nothing special or outstanding about it. I think it kind of sets up the character of Daine, but it seemed like it moved from one thing to another, introducing new ideas a little too quickly. I didn't like it quite as well as the Alanna series.

Daine is a likable enough character, and there are some returning characters from the Alanna series. There are also a few new ones as well, but no one that grabbed me, and although I liked the end of this story, for most of the book I wasn't completely pulled in. I found my mind wandering quite a bit.

Still, I would definitely recommend Tamora Pierce's books to fantasy lovers, most especially younger ones who want to read fantasy but don't have the patience or desire to read the longer, more involved fantasy.

I decided to pick this up mainly due to the badger on the cover and that I knew of Tamora Pierce, having previously picked up another book by her. I can say that this was a pleasant surprise.

I picked this up for nostalgia reasons and it deliverd the way Tamora Pierce always does. The audiobook was fun too, being both full-cast and narrated by the author herself.
