Has anyone read books by Tamora Pierce?

[Ali]

They are all fantastic, I'm waiting for this latest audiocast to be written down and released (I'm a bookworm, not a tapeworm) and really look forward to anything else she does. I am really looking forward to the book she's going to do on when tris goes to lightsbridge, although I have some reading to catch up on. Well, I hope this is well received, and sorry, I haven't been here for a LONG time

I grew up with Tamora Pierce's books. I like Tortall as well, but I have more of a soft spot for Circle of Magic etc. I read Circle Reforged and it was remarkably good.

However, I think her real skill is running her board, sheroes central.

I love Tamora Pierce. I have read all of her books, Tortall and Emelan alike. I personally like the Protecter of the Small and the Cirlce Opens Quartet the best. My favorite book is of course Tricksters Queen.

<span class="ev_code_PURPLE">It's not too long, Peridexis. AS far as Terrior and the upcoming books...Tamora Peirce's website has a list of upcoming books and a little about them.
Here's the link...http://www.tamora-pierce.com/newbook.htm</span>

YAAHHHH! those books are awesome! Tamora happens to be my fave fantasy author in the entire universe!!! i'm using wayyyy too many !! marks, but i mean all of them!!! i've read the Lioness quartet, the Protector of the Small quartet, the Trickster set, the Wild
Magic quartet, and many of the Circle Opens and the Circle of Magic ones, along with a lot of others. i could ramble on for hours aboout all her characters, really, i could...but i have a feeling you people would get bored...so put it this way, she is brilliant!!!but maybe i will ramble a little...i understand why some people disliked them, because the falling-in-love-thing at the end is a bit cliche, but i am a bit of a hopeless romantic, so of course i love them. i enjoyed all her characters, so don't ask me to choose a fave. i have traits from all of them, which helps me relate to them, and makes the whole thing a whole lot cooler. one thing that was really cool was that i learned alot fromkel, obviously one of my many favorites. no one is going to read this, it is way too long, but oh well.

-peri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS the Terrier????? enlighten me!!! please!

PPS IT IS MY 100TH POST BIRTHDAY! WOOOOOOOOOOT!

[airspades]

yeha, i've read them, me favorites are the circle of magic. haven't read them in a long time though, she should continue the series, after the Circle opens. They're good, what other books has she written?

[bookworm6]

I've read 15 of them- the Song of the Lioness, Protector of the Small, Immortal and Daughter of the Lioness books, and Sandry's Book in the Circle of Magic quartet.

I hope Terrier will be good- unlike her other ones, it is apparently be written in first person, which will be different. And the other characters (i.e. Alanna, Kel, etc..) won't be in it because it takes place earlier 200 years before that (or something like that...)

<span class="ev_code_PURPLE">I've read all Tamora Pierce's books, too. As in all...12...20...23...all 23 of them...just about everyone I know has read them...and loved them!

They are so much better if you read them in order the first time...of course by the 10th time, it really doesn't matter...

I have to complete my collection of her books...
I'm only missing a few (The last three circle of magic books, Wolf Speaker, Emperor Mage, Realm of the Gods)

Does anyone think her next series (The Provost's Dog trilogy, starting with Terrier) will be any good?</span>

EDIT: My sig looks really funny with this post...really unrelated...hehehe

[Cheeto]

Why, thank you slash!

[WolfDemon]

It's not a good idea to read those out of order... I did the exact same thing... And then somehow, when I was reading the Alanna series I had to skip the first thirty pages at first... there was a printing error with the print run that I bought.... Not very convenient.

I think that Circle Opens is pretty good though too... My favorite of all her books is probably In the Hand of the Goddess though.

like Wizardgirl, i have read all the Tortall books and i am getting more of her books my mail in June. If not before. But yes, they are very awesome. I have to say, im not sure who is better, DD or Tamora. One thing is that Tamora adds some romance into hers which speeds up the book as well as that im weird that way. I love DD's way of writing though, a ton, i really do. I read the Tortall books way out of order, which i know regret, but yeah. I got the Immortals seires and Trickster ones first from my mom in January. And i read those first, (Immortals first then Tricksters), and then i got the Alanna ones and Protector of the Small ones. I love them so much. My book shelf is getting kinda full, which im happy about. I will soon have books all over my bed, my mom wants me to trade them!! No way!!

Whoa, that was weird, the stupid thing posted before i even hit post, ugh. Thank god it saved.

So anyways, I dont care if i sleep with books on half of my bed and me on the other half. I love them too much! Im such a book worm now. When i was still in school i wouldnt dare touch a book for fun. Now im like, why does everyone think books are for geeks? Sucks for them they are missing out on such great books.
I have to say i think the Protector ones are best. I love Cleon, even if he does marry some one else! -Sigh..- (Hope i didnt spoil out anyone!!)
I like the Trickster ones though, both win, they are equal..i cant decide!! Ahhh! hehe.

Yes! I've read all of the Tortall books, and they were really good. I first found Wild Magic in my school's library, so natrually I had to read the rest of the series, then the Lioness Quartet, then The Protector of the Smallseries, and then the Trickster's books. They were all awesome, though not better than DD's.

Cheeto- no I do not read the book but... I like your Icon!
