Trickster's Queen by Tamora Pierce

maddie_can_read's review against another edition

I re-read all of the Alanna books, Daine books, Kel books and read Tricksters choice and loved them all. For some reason I could just not get into this re-reading at all! I tried re-starting like 5 times. Maybe because it was an audiobook and I had a difficult time keeping the characters straight? I read it like 15 years ago and remember loving it so not sure. Probably will come back to it to try again.

A solid end to the duology, overall an enjoyable read. Definitely continues with the “white savior” vibe, I wish Allie wasn’t the only “smart spy” while everyone else is always wide-eyed and in awe of her. It got old. And the fun little magical guys? I loved them! But why did you have to name them Darkings? Oof.

It looks like I’ve tagged a lot, but really, besides the overarching themes of the book (including colonization/slavery/racism and war) it’s really not that bad, nor overly explicit.
