Summary: So far my favorite book in the Immortals Series
Review: Fifteen-year-old Daine, who is blessed with a rather large amount of Wild Magic, travels to Carthak, the city that was expected to be responsible for the release of the immortals into Tortall, to help with the peace talk and take care of the Emperor's sick birds. Carthak is different that she ever would imagine. The palace doesn't have servants but slaves and every member of the royal family is covered in riches. Carthak is beautiful but Daine knows not to trust it. The Emperor Mage himself, Ozorne, an old rival of Numair, seems to have two faces. Much to Daine's displeasure she runs into a familliar Stormwing as well. Meanwhile Daine is given a mysterious gift from the gods that she does not like at all, and when disaster strikes she may have to use it to extract her revenge... Emperor Mage is so far my favorite book in the immortals series. It's suspenseful and surprising, filled with great new characters and sparks of possible romance. It was great to see some old characters from the Lioness series such as Alanna, Duke Gareth and his son. If you're a fan of the immortals series I highly recommend you do out right now and buy it. I can't wait to read the 4th and final book in the quartet, in the Realm of the Gods. I can't wait to see how Daine's adventures end.

Summary: Magical!
Review: "Emperor Mage" is easily the best book yet in the Immortals quartette. The characters have much more depth than in the previous books, especially Ozorne and Kaddar. The story is about what ensues when Daine, the heroine, visits Tortall's enemy, Carthak, to heal the emperor's birds as a gesture of goodwill from King Jonathan. Daine also discovers yet another thing she can do with her wild magic. Vivid imagery and realistic characters are what truly make "Emperor Mage" shine. Readers also feel Daine's sadness, joy, excitement and frustration, in a way never experienced in "Wild Magic" or "Wolf-Speaker". Familiar characters join Daine in this adventure, including Alanna and Numair, as well as new ones, including the many-faced Emperor Ozorne, and the likable marmoset, Zek.
The only thing I did not savor while reading "Emperor Mage was the way the Carthaki palace seems so much like modern life, complete with light bulbs and complete fossils, invented by mages. This is not plausible at all, and detracts from the story rather than giving the readers something to relate to, which I assume is what Mrs. Pierce was attempting. Overall, though, these minor flaws do not overshadow the golden story. This will make an enjoyable read for all.

Summary: What a adventure!
Review: Daine goes to another country to try and makes peace, all goes well till the emperor starts getting warnings from the gods and blames coming for them Numair,which leads to trouble with the emperor. there are new faces and adventures in here for Daine, she gets to meet some friends like a professer that was Numair, and some not so nice like Virace(is that how you spell it?)Kingsford. But luckily it turns out for the best and you notice a spark between Daine and Numair that will make you want to hear more about them. It makes you want to get the other books and find out what happens next, so I hope you can enjoy them all!

Summary: "The Immortals" quartet is ACE
Review: Hi! I've never been to Amazon before and was searching for the new books from Tamora Pierce when I discovered you could write book reviews. I absolutely love the Immortals quartet! Daine is a great character, and so is Numair, in fact, they're all great! (Their growing relationship is particularly interesting). I don't want to spoil any storylines for you if you haven't read them, so I won't talk about them. But if you're a teenager who likes fantasy books, or maybe one who hasn't tried them before, you'll love these! They're some of the best books I've ever read, and if you haven't read them, order them now! You won't regret it. So, kick yourself sharply and order 'Wild Magic' 'Wolf Speaker' 'The Emperor Mage' and 'Realms of the Gods' now!

Summary: Fantastic.
Review: This was the third book that I read of Ms. Pierce's, and I thought it was simple fantastic. Aside from some minor errors, the whole story was capitavting and very imaginative. I thought the ending was particularly impressives, as was the whole parts where Daine is showing the Carthaki males, just how useful girls can be. I thought those were very good.
Some parts where a little confusing, especially when describing places and where they were, this occured mostly when Ms. Pierce was writing and the Hag, and what happened to Daine.
But all in all, this is a book I would definetly reccommend. Well done, Ms. Pierce!

Summary: My favorite Immortals book
Review: Here she is again folks, but this time she's all the way across the Inland Sea. Coming with a royal envoy (which includes familiar persons such as the Gareths, Alanna, and Numair)she plans to try and heal the emperor of Carthak's ailing birds with her magic. Little does she know what will happen toher there. Some examples are making a friend who is NOT on this century's "Top 9999 Good-Smelling Vertebrates List", and receiving several godly visits. In this book, Daine, with some help, should wreak havoc on the world of book reviews.(Among other places.) If you'd like to see Daine and her friends, search "Tamora Pierce" in Infoseek, and check out the site headed MEGAN.

Summary: Nothing but the best
Review: i couldn't believe it when i finished reading the book. It was amazing!! The book was so good i did the whole house work just so mum can drive me to the book store and buy the next book. But i could so tell that Numair loved Dain, i mean it was so obvious (the last book is amazing involving those 2). I wish that i found Tamora pierce's books earlier. But what was kinda funny was that i thought something was going to happen between Dain and Kaddar so i was sort of waiting for that, nothing happened though (which was still good). The 'Emperor Mage' was so good that the whole story about Dain, wouldn't be the same. But I've got 2 admit, all the books was excellent. i really like 'the wolf-speaker' and 'The Immortals'( i think because 'the immortals' had romance) i advise that everyone should read this book.

Summary: Best for the Wild Mage!
Review: The Immortals Quartet is one of my favorite series of books. I'd personally have to say, this is my favorite of the four of 'em. There is a lot of everything that should be expected of a Tamora Pierce book. Daine goes along with the Royal Commitee that is supposed to negotiate peace with Tortall's neighbor Carthak because the Emporer's birds are ill. There's the humor, outrage, happiness, etc. that's necessary for a good book. Emporer Mage is a great great great book!

Summary: Awesome Book
Review: Another excellent book by Ms. Pierce. I really want to know how she learned to write like that! Ms. Pierce made me feel like I was actually Daine. I mean, when I read about Diane getting drugged, it made me so mad. I wanted to kill him. It was so satisfying to read about Daine destroying the palace. I was sad when I heard about Numair dying, and it made me hate Ozorne even more. When Daine lost her temper when she heard about Numair, it made me think there could be something between them(?!). After I read this book, I knew I had to read all of Ms. Pierce's books. This book is amazing, you have to read it! By the way, I HATE Ozorne.
