Summary: "Wild Magic" Another word for adventure
Review: This is one of my most favorite books; I couldn't put the book down, I was disappointed when I finished it, luckily there where three more books for me too read "Wolf Speaker" "Emperor Mage" and "In the Realms of the Gods" so I wasn't too disappointed. The book is about a young girl who has a knack with animals that gets her a job with a horse buyer who works with the king. During all this Daine learns about her powers and make many friends, with Onua the horse buyer, Numair a powerful mage, and some old characters like Alanna, and Thayet a queen, and the ever so charming George, from the "Song of the Lioness" Series. This is one of the best books I have every read, to me it seems as if the book takes you somewhere else and makes you wish that you were Daine and could do all the things she does. But the book is great for teens and there are Dragons, Griffins, and some other types of Immortal creatures to keep you on your toes, you will definitely in enjoy the book.

Summary: More than five stars!
Review: I would rate Wild Magic not only 5 stars, but 600!I first bought Wild Magic because I needed something new to read and it was reccommended to me, so I took a stab at it. I found out that Wild Magic was going to be my favorite book in the whole world ! Tamora Pierce is the greatest writer in the whole entire world and this is one of her greatest books! I reccommend this book to any person from 12-400 years old. Wild Magic is packed with everything!
For all those confused readers out there, the order in reading all of the series is- The Song of the Lioness Series, then the Immortals(which Wild Magic is the first book of)series, then the Circle of Magic series, then the Protector of the Small series, then the Cicle Opens series. If you buy these books you'll find yourself a true treasure for life. Buy them all on Amazon today!

Summary: Wild Magic
Review: Wild Magic is a book about a girl named Veralidaine Sarrisri, Daine for short, who has wild magic. Wild magic is a type of magic that deals with animals. Daine can talk to, heal, and change shape into animals. Wild Magic takes place in the kingdom of Tortall and also has some characters from The Song of the Lioness Quartet in it. Readers of The Song of the Lioness Quartet will enjoy Wild Magic and the other books in The Immortals Quartet. I suggest Wild Magic to people who like books about animals and magic. Compared to The Song of the Lioness, I think that The Immortals is the better series of books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love it.

This is the story of a younge girl with an unbelievable talent, a dangerous secret. And how she helped save a kingdom. I recomend it to any reader.

Summary: Wild Magic
Review: This is a wonderful book!!! It is about a girl with magical power with animals. She can speak to them and they can speak back. I think that this has been a dream of many different people. It's also about the triumph of the human spirit. I don't want to give anything away, but the main character is suffering from a past tradegy. While Daine recovers and discovers her newfound home is being besieged by unimaginable monsters. A truly wonderful action-packed book. (if you liked this one, you will love the other three)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this!
Review: This is a very good book and many preteens should like it. Daine is an interesting character, and many people will think twice about killing animals after reading this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Magical Book
Review: This was the first book I read by Tamora Pierce. Ever since I read it, I have been wishing I could live in Tortall. Life seems so exciting there. This is the first book about Daine, who has the power to speak to animals. After the death of the mother, Veralidaine Sarrasri ventures south to Tortall with the horse trainer Onua. On her way, she meets not only new friends, Numair and Alanna, but also deadly immortal creature called Stormwings and Spidrens. As Daine slowly develops her ability to speak to animals, called wild magic, war brws south of Tortall in Carthak. At the end of the book, Daine must call on her animal friends to protact Pirate's Swoop from invaders. Amazing book, once in finish the Immortals, I'll go on the read the Protector of the Small.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very good!
Review: I don't usually like fantasy books. This series, and a few others by Tamora Pierce are different. I love the way she writes, and makes things and characters real. Daine, as well as alot of others, are likable but still have the many flaws that everyone has. Some of the "bad" characters are a little to evil, but in this book it seems fitting. Something is always happening, but the big stuff doesn't come till the end of the book.
This is not a good book to read if you are expecting something other than what it is- a fantasy. I did, and quit reading. A year or so later I started reading again, knowing what it was like, and I could barely stop reading it. But even though the settings, creatures and many other things are completely fake, the feelings and the way the characters interact with each other are very realistic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spectacular!
Review: WILD MAGIC by Tamora Pierce was a spectacular book. The vivid and memorable characters were fully developed, allowing the readers to unintentionally analyze them. The conflicts transcended the time and setting for the readers to emphasize with,the vocabulary was moderate, and the plot was as entertaining as it was smooth. A book that cacthes your attention from the first page, it is great for students, and has been noticed to cause addictiveness from elementary school to middle school. This truly was a spectacular book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a Wonerful Book!!
Review: This was simply one of the most divine interesting books that I have ever read. I am not a huge fan on animal books but it has nothing really to do with that. It's about a troubled girl named Daine who is scared of humans, due to her past. Then she comes to terms and learns to trust them. It was well written and I love how humor, bits and pieces of it are woven into the story to make it more light and enjoyable. Seeing how possible it is for someone to follow their dreams and learning to trust people is a major theme in this book. What I thought was very brave of Daine was when she feels ready to the tell Numair and the other lady(sorry, but i can't remember how to spell her name) about her past. I actually stoped reading and applauded her for showing her true self. Also what drew me to the book is that it isn't an all girl find her self book. This book has some major combat scenes and then ending was shocking with the dragon. Another thing that I like about Tamora Pierce books are her epilougs(spelling?!)They are not and then they lived happily ever after. It seems that instead of coming up with a name for a chapter she desides to name the last chapter epilouge. So it always makes you want to read more in order to find out what happens.
