Magic Steps by Tamora Pierce
5.0
After the conclusion of the first arc of the Circle series, I was really worried I wouldn't like this book as much. While it was definitely very different in many ways, it also kept much of the same feeling, and "felt" familiar to me.
This series focuses in much more on just one character from the quartet we got to know in the Circle of Magic series. The four have gone their separate ways, for a time, to train with their teachers in their different arts. Or rather, in Sandry's case, to spend time with her uncle, who has been ill. While there are some familiar faces, we also get introduced to new characters as well. Pasco is a dance mage, whose magic is discovered by Sandry. Because Sandry is the one who discovered his power, she is required to teach him the basics of controlling his magic, until she can set him up with his own teacher.
I really really loved this book- the author does a great job of portraying how much Sandry has grown as a person in the time since she discovered her own magic, and I still found myself with that same... enthralled experience of reading Tamora Pierce's Emelan series. I cannot wait to read the next books in the series!
