Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce
4.0
I distinctly remember reading this book when I was a kid, but outside of that, have literally zero memory of this book. Which is a shame, because this book was wonderful. I rushed through it in a day, could hardly bear to put it down, and have already checked out the next three books in the series.
I absolutely love Daine—she is everything that I wanted to be when I was a kid, especially in terms of her ability to speak with the animals.
My one complaint with this book is that after reading Pierce’s later books first, it is really easy to see where she was grown an author and this one wasn’t as polished as her later books are. But it’s really only a mild gripe—I love Pierce and all of her writing, and I don’t think she ever gets enough hype for all of the strong female characters and insanely creative worlds she has written over the last thirty years. She truly is a master of fantasy and I can’t repeat that enough.
