I used to take out Tamora Pierce's books from the library extremely often, and I still enjoy re-reading them. The plot of this book makes much more sense and is much richer in the context of all the other books that came before it. I'll just say that Briar Moss has always been one of my favourite characters and the interactions between him, Evvy and Rosethorn are amazing.

Briar as a teacher is great! Love the plant magic. Did not like that the main villains were either fat or veiled (and there weren’t characters with the same characteristics in this story that weren’t villains). Boo.

This is a book that I love. I've loved it from the first time I read it. And I'll read it time and time again.

It can be hard to face your past, especially when you think you've left if far behind you. But when Briar finds a young stone mage and all that trouble that comes with teaching her, he realizes that his past will always be there, even if he doesn't want it to be.
