Briar's Book by Tamora Pierce
4.0
I think this series has just continually improved starting from Sandry’s Book. Briar has always been a slightly irritating character in the series, but in his book, we saw how much he cares for his friends and makeshift family. This chapter in the story was overall more enjoyable mostly because it really focused on Briar rather than trying to switch between all the characters.
Pros:
• Briar became a real character in my opinion rather than just a thorn in my side (ha!)
• Good development from secondary characters such as Crane with less focus on just the inner circle
• The plague was not as easy to solve as a lot of the other conflicts that these characters have faced
Cons:
• The ending to the series was nicely wrapped up, but still seemed unsatisfying it was a little too perfect- the circle always manages to find a way to bend the rules of magic and there are little to no consequences
I’m giving Briar’s Book a 4/5 star rating because I did read it pretty much in one sitting. I was interested in it from start to finish and I found it the most enjoyable of the series. The real issue I have had with this series is that these books are geared toward an audience much younger than me (which is so sad) so I’m finding it a lot harder to relate to the characters and I’m looking for too much in a book made for such a young age group.
