Generally a good book. Was disturbed by the relationship between a 16 and 30 yr old though. Didn't bother me the first time I read it (when I must have been about 12) but now more of an issue to my brain.
I enjoyed this book a lot when I first picked it up. The writing was strong and compelling as were the characters. I read nearly half of it in a day. But when Diane and Numair became more than friends, there was a noticeable decline in just about everything. And Numair is WAY older than Diane. And j...
Daine and this series aren't my favorite among Pierce's characters or books. I think because I find the environmentalist themes unsympathetic and preachy. Pierce's imagination never flags though, and that does make all her books enjoyable and in this one I especially love how she gives another dimen...
Oh, this is definitely a great way to wrap up a series. And I just LOVED the love story between Daine and Numair. So nice. If they hadn't known each other so long, I might have felt weird about it. Or maybe I should feel weird. I don't know. She was underage, and he was like 10 years older tha...
Debated for a while between three and four stars, but a book where I nearly fall asleep twice during the scenes of the final battle - and it wasn't even anywhere close to midnight, my usual sleeptime - just doesn't deserve to get more than three stars.Anyway. As a final book, this was a pretty fitti...
Gah! This series had to end on a bad note. I had the same problem with this book as I did with Wolf Speaker. Too much interactions with Daine's animals and the gods, and not enough human interactions, furthermore bogged down by the weakest part of Book 1, the war. Tamora Pierce has many strengths in...
This series is definitely not as good as Alanna, but it was worth my time. I think Pierce spent way too much time in this one with Daine and Numair in the realms of the gods, and some things were kind of cutesy, and lots were convenient, and everything ended kind of predictably . . . but still: enjo...
I love Numair. I love these books. I love the world that Pierce has built/expanded on in these four books. This reread was just as fun as my first read was 10 years ago. That is all.
