Tamora Pierce

Eowyn, The Lioness · 03-18-2002, 06:50 PM

Has anyone else read her Song of the Lioness,Immortals, Circle of magic, or Protector of the Small series? I seem to be the only one;which is a shame considering how great they are. The Song of the Lioness series is where I got the 2nd half of my name from.

TinuvielChild · 03-31-2002, 10:04 PM

i've read all the books by Tamora Pierce except for the newest The Circle Opens book, i'm not much of a fan of the Circle Opens series, i preferred the original 4 much more. i LOVE her Tortall books.

The Grim Squeaker · 04-07-2002, 11:09 AM

TORTALL RULES! i love it! but the winding circle isnt so great

FliPip · 04-07-2002, 11:10 AM

I've read most of them, and love them all. The last one I read was the first of The Circle opens, which was good.

Elfhelm · 04-09-2002, 07:52 PM

I read them to my daughters. Goddess bless!

TwirlingString · 04-15-2002, 01:40 PM

I've read ever one I could get my hands on, they're terrific!

The Song of the Lioness series is cool, but Daine rules!

Eowyn, The Lioness · 04-15-2002, 06:44 PM

I read every one except for the last one in the Protector of the Small series. "lady Knight" I think it's called. I wasn't too fond of the Circle of Magic books so I haven't read the Circle Opens.
My favorite is a toss up betweenThe Woman Who Rides Like a Man , In the Realm of the Gods , and Squire .
I like the fact that Kel had to accomplish her status of Knight without magic , though I always am wishing I could be in Alanna's shoes.

TwirlingString · 04-15-2002, 07:40 PM

Squire is definatly the best so far but it seems like forecer till the next one. Does anyone know when it's supposed to come out?

Eowyn, The Lioness · 04-15-2002, 07:50 PM

Actually, I heard it was supposed to come out this month sometime! I'm awaiting it's arrival...

What's the matter with the Circle Opens, I love reading about what goes on next (but then again I like having bad series go on!), and can't wait for it to come out! Does anyone know whose book the next one is?

Eowyn, The Lioness · 04-22-2002, 06:01 PM

No, I'm not sure.
Who's your favorite character? Mine's Briar;Thta's such a cool name-Briar Moss...

Lady of Darkness · 04-22-2002, 08:06 PM

Tamora Peirce is awesome! I've read all of them and am starting a countdown until the last one in the Protector of the Small series comes out on August 27th. Only 19 more weeks to go!!!!!!!

TwirlingString · 04-27-2002, 06:13 PM

Did you know Cold Fire's out? That's daja's book. She seems to have the least trouble with her apprentences. But then again she got rid of hers the fastest.

I can't wait to see what Tris finds.

TinuvielChild · 04-27-2002, 06:24 PM

i haven't read Cold Fire, but interestingly enough, i know someone who's met Tamora Pierce and one of the people in my study/Drama club/Little Shop (of Horrors) was reading the proof copy that her aunt or something lent her to read, before it was published. isn't that cool??

i really liked the Song of the Lioness and Immortals series, i think the Protector of the Small ones are ok. i mean i really like them, but i love the other two series.

TwirlingString · 04-27-2002, 07:25 PM

Was too much to hope for, what else has tamora pierce written?

TinuvielChild · 04-27-2002, 07:55 PM

Song of the Lioness series (Alanna: the First Adventure, In the Hand of the Goddess, The Woman who Rides like a Man, and Lioness Rampant), the Immortals series (Wild Magic, Wolfspeaker, Emperor Mage, and The Realms of the Gods), the Protector of the Small series (First Test, Page, Squire, and soon, Lady Knight), the Circle of Magic series (Sandry's Book, Tris's Book, Daja's Book, and Briar's Book), and the Circle Opens series (Magic Steps, Street Magic, and Cold Fire so far). those are all the books by Tamora Pierce.

TwirlingString · 04-27-2002, 07:59 PM

You know I've read all those, o why did you list them. Can't wait. Lady knight, Lady knight (brother chanting in the background)

TinuvielChild · 04-27-2002, 10:29 PM

well, you did ask what else she had written, and as i didn't know what you'd read, i listed them all. don't blame me for your lack of precision of language!
