A review by juliannegern
First Test by Tamora Pierce

4.0

The Protector of the Small series was the last one I read by Tamora Pierce. After these, I naturally grew out of reading her new releases. I loved these books and I think she grew as an author to create more nuanced characters and storylines while still writing for a middle-grade audience. As an adult, some of the themes in this book ring true today. These books are really nostalgic for me, so I will always enjoy them.
