Book summaryIn this follow-up to the young-adult fantasy quartets the Circle of Magic and the Circle Opens, the deeply troubling plans of the cunning Empress of Namorn reunite four powerful 18-year-old mages, Briar, Daja, Sandry, and Tris, after years of separation. Sandry, the only noble, has remained at home, and she finds her friends changed after their adventures in the greater, which they refuse to discuss. Tris chooses to hide her stunning new abilities, while Briar's nightmares of war keep him in constant search of bedmates and Daja struggles with memories of a destructive fire. When Sandry is called to visit her lands in Namorn, the others accompany her. There, a dangerous court game is played, and soon the group's very lives depend on re-forging their childhood bonds. Tamora Pierce is the author of the bestsellers TRICKSTER'S CHOICE and TRICKSTER'S QUEEN. Media reviews"Main characters all get satisfactory depth, although much development is left tantalizingly unresolved for future offerings. When Pierce first began writing longer books, her pacing was shaky; she's settled into the length quiet well. Satisfying." |
