The Circle Opens #2: Street Magic

Rating:
Summary: from the mage of Missouri
Review: This book is great! When Briar discovers that there is a girl named Evvy who lives in all these tunnels who is a stone mage he finds out he must teach her as a student, he also discovers that there is a rich lady's toy gang named the Vipers who is after her so they can break into places and get all the jewels in the place and they will do anything to get her, he must protect her. Rosethorn is actually nice to her and they end up living with her. Briar makes friends with a gang called the Camelguts and helps them when they are being beat to death by the Vipers, and how do they repay them? by joining the Vipers because they don't wanna fight any more! In the Circle of Magic Quartet, Tris's Book they cover a pirate fleet with plants, but it takes all 4 of them, but in this book Briar destroys a giant mansion all by himself. You find out that their teachers have given them all tokens in these books to show that they can train as adults, but Briar can sence they aren't telling him something about the tokens cause everyone obeys them if they show them the tokens, I think it shows that they are great mages like their teachers. I'll leave the rest to you.

Summary: The Stubborn Stone Mage
Review: This book was wonderful. It starts out with Briar in Chammur and he sees a street girl polishing stones and he sees the power she has. He takes her in and tries to find a teacher for her. It turns out the only stone mage in Chammur lives in the palace and Evvy, the girl, refuses to go. In the midst of this, a gang that Briar has some friends in is attacked by the Vipers, who want Evvy for a slave. Briar is caught between his long ago thief life and his life as a mage. It makes an exciting, cliff-hanging, page turning read. Excellent read!

Summary: Best in the series
Review: Well, it's a really good book, and an exellent addition to the circle of magic, and my favorite. Even though Tris, Daja, and Sandry aren't included in this book, it is still really good.
In this book I think it really shows how powerful Briar really is. in all the other books, Tris was the powerful one, but Briar is here to give her a run for her money as he works his way through a phonomal book.

Summary: Nothing can compare
Review: When I first got the books in the prequal quartet, Circle of Magic, at my schools book fair I thought I would read some of them then toss them into some dark corner of my room, but by the firste few pages, I was hooked. And I mean HOOKED. Two hours before I went to bed and 3 hours in the morning, it was like a messanfer gave it to me for my summer reading (which before then i wasn't reading anything). I recommened this with the highest rating,but i dont just recomed this book, but the next one in the quartet and previous quartet, Cirlce of Magic, from which this quartet was created. (Those are the first ones that were stupendous and got me to find the rest of the books.) These books are the reason I take chances on no-name books at my book fair. These are hidden treasures, which if they were more reconized, then i think people would be saying, "Harry Potter who?"
