In the Hand of the Goddess by Tamora Pierce

4.5

adventurous funny inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

4.5 This one was also really fun. I know its YA but there's something fun and refreshing about the writing of these books they are easy going, with a good focus on friendships and likeable characters. Great banter and dialogue. I will have to explain some of the behind closed doors activities to my daughter, wasn't expecting that, but at the same time it's not super obvious so some younger kids might miss it. But there's definitely mention of sex and characters sleeping together, as the characters age up into their teens in a world without the same sort of strict and conservative outlook on intimate relations.
