I love that she is strong through it all. She goes to a foreign land but still has spunkiness and courage.

3.5 stars. I liked this one better than the first two books, but there is still something about Pierce’s writing style here (the lack of emotion/reactions, the jarring shifts between subjects/scenes) that leaves me a bit cold. There is also the fact that Pierce continues to insist that Numair is in love with Daine, when they have shared barely any page-time during the last two books. This was only her second published series however, and I do see improvements when comparing it to The Song of the Lioness.

Re-Read 2018:

In light of the release of Tamora Pierce's new book Tempests and Slaughter I felt the overpowering urge to reread Emperor Mage. While Numair features heavily in every book of the Immortals quartet, this one has the most interaction between Numair and his former friends and enemies in Carthak. I wanted a reminder of where they end up before I dived in to see where his story starts. Also, of the four books in this quartet, Emperor Mage contains some of my favourite moments of the series.
