siareen 's review for:
Briar's Book
by Tamora Pierce
Reread-
Was rereading this book in the middle of a global pandemic a stupid idea? Probably. But I wanted to read the entire series and I couldn't not read this. I also think that this might be my favorite of the first series, partially because the stakes are so high and partially because we get so much of Briar and Tris, my two favorites, and also Rosethorn and Crane, who are wonderful together. I love the relationship between Briar and Rosethorn so so much, and also I love the relationship between Briar and Tris and how much they just care about each other and understand each other. The ending of this book always gets me and I always get nervous even though I know what happens in the end. There is something very gritty and real about this book, and about this series in general. Even though it's aimed at children, Tamora Pierce never shies away from some of the darker aspects of life and understands that the characters have seen some shit that kids their ages shouldn't have seen and doesn't hide those things either. I really appreciate that in a book. As a whole, this series is sweet and short and heartfelt and sometimes darker than I expect and I'm excited to continue on my reread with the Circle Opens.
