by Tamora Pierce
11/27/13 ** I've read this book once before, sometime in the past 2 years. I remember thinking at the time that it was enjoyable, but not necessarily one of my favorite of Pierce's works.

I greatly enjoy Tamora Pierce's young adult high fantasies. They always feature active, strong female characters.
