Summary: An Excellent Book
Review: Tris' Book is a book about a girl, who has recently discovered that she has powerful mage power, and her 3 close friends. They live at the Winding Circle Temple, which has recently received damage from an Earthquake. Unsettling things begin to happen, and it becomes clear that something is amiss and danger threatens Winding Circle. The danger comes in the form of Pirates, who are taking advantage of Winding Circle's wounded state. A cousin from the Family that cast Tris out shows up, and advises her to return home, but Tris is fiercly determined to fight for and protect the only place that she has ever felt at home, with her equally powerful friends right beside her. This book has more action than the first book in the Circle of Magic series, and the ending, in my opinion, is more satisfying. This book allows more exploration of the characters, because introductions do not need to be made, allowing for a greater story line. It is definitely worth your while to read, I quite enjoyed it. I would give it about a 4 and one half star rating, but there is no half so I am giving it 4.

Summary: Weather Witch!
Review: Tris' book is the second best in the series (Brair's being the best) and is a book you must read. When pirates attack winding circle, the only home to the four mages in training Sandry, Daja, Tris, And Briar,they have come with a new weapon. How will the four fight to protect the only home that they have been accepted in? this is a book that has it's own unique plot filled with unforgetable characters. In this book, I found that the description of tris's past to be interesting and strange in the sense that her family are so mean. I can say that the end is good and the text will keep you reading. I give this five stars because I not only love all of Tamora Pierce's books, but I think that this book has a wonderful way of describing things that happen in her world, and in the real world with the added push of magic and a new language. If you like smart-mouthed red heads that have unsettling ways with the weather, then this book is for you. So if your looking for an good book, then you have found one in this!!!!! I truly believe that this series is the best, and Tris's book is one of them that earns it it's name!

Summary: Tris's Book
Review: Tris's book is the second book in the Circle of Magic series. In this book, a powerful earthquake has destroy parts of the Winding Circle's defenses. Although pirates have not dared attack it for years, they can't help but take advantage of its vunerability. The pirates are led by the pirate queen, Pahua, and her mage brother Enahar. The four young mages, Sandry, Tris, Briar, and Daja, are some of those to witness the pirate new and dangerous weapons--boomstones. These stones can explode a large amount of land and kill hundreds of people. All four mages must use their magics to protect the Winding Circle from invasion. Tris also dicovers what she needs most--control over her powers.

Summary: The Four children have a new challenge to face
Review: As the second book in the Circle of Magic series, Tris's book proves to be even better than the last. Having a more darker air this book pulls you in with it's vivid descriptions and wonderful charecters, expecially Tris. Ever since the four young mages living at Winding Circle, Tris, Daja, Briar, and Sandry, joined their powers with Sandry's weaving strange things have been happening. They can talk to eachother through their minds, and hear peoples voices on the wind, a talent only TRis used to posess. Their powers have been connected somehow and they don't know why. But they are put to the test when Pirats attack the only home they know about. People are dying and no one knows how to stop them. What can they do to protect their home? If you want to find out read this book. I found it to be even better than the last. I reccomend this book to people who love Sandry's book, magical midevil fiction, or Tamora Pierce's work.

Summary: adventuorus~ you really get into it.
Review: This book is about a mage named tris. shes a weather witch who lives at winding circle temple. she also happens to live with two other girls, daja and sandrilene and a boy named briar.
In this book she seems less like a snob and more like a pesron who you could learn alot from. in this book they end up starting off in a humid summer cranky and still unsure of their magical powers.from the verry beginning i think tris knew that something was wrong but inside she just didnt want to believe cause she was scared i mean hey if i was 12 and i was being attacked by pirats heck id be scared to wouldnt you? but this book is really worth your while, its a journey in the eyes of a 12 yr old mage who is getting hit hard with the realities of the "REAL world" . but in the end guess who gets the best of it? youll have to read to find out. hope this helps you out a little bit.

Summary: Excellent, Tris is a great character
Review: I love this, and it's not even my favorite from COM. I think Tris is the character that intrigues me the most, although I could never have a favorite from among the four. This book has lots of magic, a lot about pirates, enough about birds, and an interesting family tie that Tris had nearly forgotten. I love the part in the harbor with Daja and Frostpine best, but the final battle with the pirate fleet nearly tops that. Buying this book would be a good idea, as long as you had the rest of the seires. Owning only one of a series is very frusterating... trust me.

Summary: This book is a great read, perfect for fantasy fans!
Review: The book is very imaginative, and is a must for all you fantasy readers. I LOVE fantasy books, and Tamora Pierce is my favorite author. It's time SOMEONE wrote a book with teenage-kids as the heroes. I found it fascinating, and I am a big fan of books about magic. The context draws the reader into the book. I couldn't put it down once I started!
I have the whole series, and all of them tie together like pieces in a puzzle... they're perfect together! I absolutely rate this book, and the series, 5 stars. If not more.

Summary: Circle of Magic #2: Tris's Book
Review: An exceptional work, Tris's Book will capture your interest at once- it did mine. The hard-hearted Trisana lights up a bit and truly comes through for her friends- and enemies. Very nice, worth every penny.

Summary: An excellent follow up!
Review: If you thought Sandry's Book was good, you'll love Tris's Book! If anything, it's far better than the first one, with a lot more stuff happening, and the characters well fleshed out. Still, if it's an action filled fantasy thriller you're looking for, you won't find it here. This is a mainly character driven story without a lot of different things going on at once. Anyway, pirates have begun attacking Winding Circle in the aftermath of the devestating earthquake, while Tris's cousin Aymery appears, with a message from the family who rejected and ignored Tris, begging her to return to the side of her dying father. I won't say anything else to avoid spoiling the story, but trust me, this is a great book, good for kids of all ages, particularly the 9 to 12 age range. Older kids may feel a bit cheated reading a book about a bunch of ten year olds, but the author's skill got me over it quickly and I urge any fan of Tamora Pierce, young or old, to give this series a try.
