Wild Magic The Immortals

Summary: the defining work of fantasy literature
Review: Even now, at age 13, riffling through the well worn pages of my beloved Immortals series, I wonder how it is humanly possible to write books so amazing. I've always loved fantasy, and Tamora Pierce is my favorite author, and always has been. This entire series is a must read for any fantasy nut. It's just like a good smoothie - the perfect blend of everything. Humor, adventure, a touch of romance and a whole lot of enchantment, I consider the Wild magic story one of Ms.Pierce's finest. The young girl Daine, who has the wonderful gift of animal speech, and even shape shifting, starts out as a sad orphan who's lost her family.It was wonderfull to "watch" her slowly heal, and discover herself shinig through her past. But I really felt myself connect with all the characters, and I consider that one of the most important things about novels. I recommend this book for anyone who likes a good fantasy.

Summary: THE BEST SERIES EVER!!!!
Review: I have read this book at least 7 times, and i could read it 5 more without tiring.

This is a story about Daine, a poor orphan girl with a knack for animals and her adventures when she becomes a helper to Ona (I think thats her name. So many names like that in Pierce's books!), The horse handler. She befriends Queen Thyat, King Jonathan, and the most powerful mage in Tortall, Numair Salimalin.

Tamora Pierce is able to Write and describe so well, the book just has this air about it, like the others in the series. It literally made me giddy.

I recommend this book, the series, and the writer.

Summary: Mmmm, not bad
Review: I read a lot, and Wild Magic is my favorite book. Tamora pierce is my favorite author. If you want a great book with magic and animals which isn't cheesy and isn't a little kiddy book (Ok, it's more apropriate than her other books, but I wouldn't recomend it to a five year old!) this is it.


Daine is left with no family but her pony, cloud, and takes on a job with Ouna Chamington. They take a herd of ponies from galla to tortall, and it begins to apear that Daine's "Knack with animals" is magic, nomatter how much she tries to deny that she doesn't have the gift.

One of the good things about Tamora Pierces books is that the charachter are realistic. They all have fears, weaknesses, strenghts. Not only the bad people have faults. The good people get angry and greedy and scared too, and she doesn't leave out things like them having to go to the bathroom- who cares if you think It's gross, Its like real life! Real people have to do that stuff too! (Though she doesn't say stuff like she pooped, just stuff like "I need to relive myself")


This is an awsome book. If your looking for something a bit older, try the song of the Lioness Quartet or
Protector of the small (both by Tamora Pierce), but you should read the Imortals anyway. No matter what your age, You will enjoy this series. Unless there is something wrong with your brain. Oh, and also, the fourth book is a bit more... mature ;)


I don't tend to give ratings like 10/10 because I think its stupid- EVERYTHING has flaws, and there is alwasy something better, and you cant go higher than that and of course its not perfect ans so on, but I wiould seriously give this book a 15/10. It's been my favorite book schince 3RD GRADE peoples, and I still love it!!! (of course, no one else was reading books like this in third grade... only me :))

Summary: great book
Review: i really liked this book. if you like fantasy you will love this book, or if you are a Tamora Pierce fan you will love this book even more. this series is better than the Alanna series, i think, but not by much. I like how Daine(the main character) met all her would soon be friends, especcially Numair, who i really like. i just cant believe how tall he is!!!
anyways this book is a must read and it is a great start to an even better series. YOU HAVE TO READ IT!!!!

Summary: Yet another success...
Review: Ms. Pierce's unique gift for writing really shows as she cranks out the beginning of yet another quartet. This one is no less than any of her other ones- in fact, it's one of my favorites. I first read this book in the 7th grade [3 years ago], and I appreciate it just as much now as I did then. Truly something you can read again and again- as are all her books.

I'd also recommend the Song of the Lioness Quartet, Protector of the Small Quartet, and the Trickster Duet.

Summary: Wild Magic--a wildy beautiful book
Review: This is a wonderful second series about Tortall. As always, Tamora Pierce has turned out another great one. This series is about Veraldaine (Daine) Sarrasri, a hurting young woman from Galla.

Daine comes from Galla after raiders burned her house and killed her mother. Looking for work, she gets a job from Onua Chamtong, Tortall's royal horsemistress. Soon Onua and those around her discover that Daine has more than just "a way with animals"-it appears her talent might be downright magical. Along the journey back to Tortall, Daine meets the legend Alanna the Lioness and a powerful sorcerer, Numair Salmalin, who recognizes the wild magic in her and begins training her in it. But she also meets of several of the immortals that are invading their country--stormwings, griffins, and dragons. But before Daine can control her wild magic and help save Tortall, she must come to grips with her frightening past...

Beautiful-absolutely beautiful. Yet another masterpiece from the best author on earth, Tamora Pierce.

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: This is book is the first of my favorite series of all time. The story is about an orphaned girl named Daine. With the help of the very sexy mage Numair, Daine discovers and cultivates her rare magic. Wild Magic is a wonderful book for young adults, and adults alike.

Those who love Magic, Animals, Romance, action, and overall, entertaining and absorbing books, will NOT pass this quartet by!

Though I first read these books in eigth grade (4 years ago), I am still as passionate about them as i ever have been. Tamora Pierce is a talented writer. her female heroines act upon their common sense, their humility, and they deal with common issues. They are not comic strip action heroines, but they are real people who need guidance just as much as we do.

I recomend reading the Song of the Lioness as well.

Summary: A World apart yet close to home
Review: This quartet was what got me hooked on Tamora's fascinating books. I won't repeat a summary of the book because others have already done so. But these books, while set in a world different from ours, you can see paralells and hints that make you go, "Oh, those people are like people from...." and place them and their customs in a location in our own world, which makes the story all the more realistic. Magic, communing with animals and mystical beasts, and an easy read plus a storyline that even adults will find enjoyable (heck I'm an adult myself and I enjoy it). Definitely check it out!
