Slaves, spies and intrigue? No problem. She's George's daughter.Aly, daughter of George and Alanna, is nabbed by pirates and sold into slavery. It's totally fine, because she's got plans to escape right away, but first, a local god has a job for her: protect a family that's gotten on the bad side of an insane king. I remember reading somewhere that Tamora Pierce doesn't like Aly as much as her other characters. I can't see why. See, all her characters may have different temperaments, but whileI just finished rereading this book because I'd basically forgotten everything about it and decided it was time to update myself on the world of Tortall.I changed my rating from a 4 star to a 3 star for a couple of reasons. First, the beginning moved slowly and made it hard for me to keep going. Honestly, the only reason I kept going was because I'd remembered the character Nawat being my favorite character and I wanted to remember why.I wasn't disappointed. Nawat is still my favorite character.
This was a good book in some ways, but messed up enough that I probably won't look for more in this series. The writing style was fine - easy to read, nothing detracting from the story, etc. The plot was interesting and moved at a good pace (even if it was clearly part of a series and didn't really conclude, there was a nice ending). The world, while not overwhelmingly original, managed to stay far enough out of generic fantasy kingdom to be interesting (I really liked the crows).Unfortunately,
Buddy read with Castle!And my first reread O.O the last time I read this was like... 5 or so years ago. High school/college. Damn.----------Coming back into this book after 5+ years away, I had only a vague recollection of it. I remembered Aly, and the Balitang sisters, and the fact that Aly wanted to be a spy, but not much else. I think I spent half the book asking myself how in the hell Aly had been my least favorite MC up to this point, because she kicks ass. Also, Dove and Sarai. For
There's so much to like about this book, but there's a couple of glaring problems with it that I have to cover first. 1. This is the first time Tamora Pierce has given us a series that takes place almost exclusively outside of Tortall, but it still has a white protagonist. Don't get me wrong, I like Aly. I also understand that the Tortall books are essentially a sort of family drama. However, introducing a white protagonist whose goal is the liberation of a nation of people of color who have
Okay, I did like this. But, the fact that it took me over a month to read it knocked off a star in my overall review.I've heard so much about Tamora Pierce on this site, that I figured this would be a no brainer... maybe it's me. Yeah, it's probably me. But, first of all, I found out that this is the first book in the SECOND series of books and that was turn off numero one. I don't like coming into a story if characters have already been introduced. It's like watching Problem Child 2 before
