Another good edition to the series, seeing Diane discover more about herself as she discovers more about the rest of the world was great. These books have the quality I love where you forget you're reading and not watching a movie, and of course Diane's new monkey friend was adorable. Can't wait to read the final Immortal book!

Daine honestly goes feral at the end of this book and I love that for her.
2011 Review
I'm pretty sure the last time I read this book was before I started college. I have to say it was pretty cool to reread it now that I am a geology graduate student. All I can say is: dinosaurs. In a fantasy setting. I loved Tamora Pierce's description of the different types of dinosaurs. There was even a description of an Archaeopteryx, the missing link fossil between birds and dinosaurs! And they actually played a pertinent part in the storyline!
Favorite quote: "Someday I must read this scholar Everyone, she thought as she bit her tongue to keep from giving a rude answer. He seems to have written so much--all of it wrong."
It's interesting that Daine changed from being a meat-eater in the last book to being more of a vegetarian in this book, although the author did explain the change in a way that makes sense.

I am kind of glad though that Daine's power to animate skeletons was only temporarily given to her by the Graveyard Hag - it would be a little too much to be a permanent power.Favorite quote: "Someday I must read this scholar Everyone, she thought as she bit her tongue to keep from giving a rude answer.

It would be a little creepy to eat something you had shapeshifted into and almost been killed as.Rating reviewed 1/20/2023.
