COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Very good submitted by smariej on August 31, 2012, 3:59pm I love anything by Tamora Pierce, particularly this multi-series story following the young group of protagonists. The second book of the first four part series.

My favorite in the series submitted by ValerieL on June 14, 2014, 11:32am Tris is my favorite of the four protagonists in this series by Ms. Pierce. I can really relate to her as she is overweight and wears glasses and is considered somewhat of an "oddity". In this book, Tris starts to learn just how important it is for her to get control over her magic so things don't happen accidentally. She also learns an important lesson about the family she's adopted at Winding Circle and her family of origin when her favorite cousin falls under the power of a pirate because of his greed.

Again, I feel this book is excellent for tweens as well as teens. It's an "easier" introduction into teen fiction. It's very easy to relate to without being heavy on sex or gruesome violence. There is certainly violence in the book when they are fighting the pirates, but it is tastefully done.

Action submitted by kathscot on August 24, 2017, 8:41am Lots of action as the 4 young mages learn more about their powers and weaknesses.
