Summary: An Unable to Put Down book
Review: Holy duckmoles and dragons! Was this the best way to end a series or what? Daine and Numair finally get together, the world is still filled with Stormwings, you couldn't ask for a better book. I couldn't put it down. The suspense, the drama, and the little touch of romance make it all the better! I really think that there needs to be another series continuing the lives of Daine and Numair aand Queen Thayet and all the rest of the gang, not to mention Cloud and the badger god. If you liked her other books you will love this one and the entire Immortals series it goes along with.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: *Sigh*
Review: First, I cannot believe all the....stuff.....that people are spouting about this.......stack of paper. Powerful language? If the printing on this is..."powerful"....I hate to think what a real classic would be like to that person. This isn't powerful language, or inspiring or really original or...well the list could go on. The other books had something like that. This book sure doesn't. I do not mind the relationship much. The only thing I mind is the fact that the relationship happens to be between some sixteen-year old who still doesn't quite know her own mind yet.

Second, the book- the stack of paper itself has little depth to it. It ends stereotypically, with the boring ending that characterizes this day's fantasy. What happened to all the mystery of the gods' world? It just feels like the normal world, only more potent with more odd, effortless magic happening. It has no especial danger beyond the occasional immortal. The gods you figure would have more power are somehow weak, while the really minor gods, like the badger god seem to have a bit more power than they should have.

Third, the story lacks life. The characters don't have the life they used to have. And that, more than anything, is what degenerates this...book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: what a great way to end the series
Review: This is a great way for the Immortal Series to end! I couldn't put it down! IF you like the Tamora Pierce books- you have got to read it! She's got her usual suspense and the perfect touch of romance. i dont' see why the average customer review is 4 and a half stars~ it deserves all 5!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book!
Review: I really liked Realms of the Gods. The dragons were my favorite part of it. I've read so many descriptions of dragons in fantasy books, some portraying them as evil, some as good, and some (like this one) a little of both. But the way the Immortals series describes dragons is my all time favorite! I liked Scamp and Grizzle almost as much as Kitten! The little ones are so cute! Also, some people are saying that there should be another Tortall series. Well, there is. Two more, in fact. They're both about girls training to be knights. The first one takes place before the Immortals series and is called Song of the Lioness Quartet. It's about Alanna. The second series takes place after the Immortals Quartet. It's called Protector of the Small and is about Keladry of Mindelan. Only the first book of it is out, and Daine is in it briefly! Anyway, I'm getting too far off the subject. All I wanted to say is that Realms of the Gods--and the whole series, too--is a really great book with likable, humorous,characters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I really think this book and series should have more to it.
Review: I like how Numair and Daine have a couple little special moments before finally admitting that they love each other. In the end I like how they think about getting married and I think Mrs. Pierce should think about writting another series about the rest of their lives. If she makes another series for the Circle of Magic series then I think she should make another one for the Imortalls series. I think you should take the hint Mrs. Pierce I really like this series the most of all!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Id give it more stars but they won't let me
Review: I am a loyal fan of Tamora Pierce. I have even gone so far as to become one of the woerdoes in the Tamora Pierce! Fan and Role Play Club on AOL. But Out of all the books Tammy has written This will always be my favorite. So mutch happens and it lets you daydream and make up little stories of what happens at the end. It is the kind of book you pick up and then can't put it down! I know I didn't put it down. I had it done after 60min I was so into it. And I have re-read it so manytimes I have had to replace the book twice.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: _ALMOST_ perfect
Review: I really enjoyed this book. After reading all the summaries and reviews I could find, because I couldn't get my hands on the book, I had the library order it and almost went crazy in the two months it took to get it, wondering what happened. And I must say, I wasn't really disappointed. I thought the darkings were absolutely adorable, and I definately enjoyed the parts when Daine met Broad Foot and the dragons. It was horrible when Rikash died, but he had to, I suppose. Numair and Daine's romance came as a surprise, but not an unwelcome one. They really work out together, and I could see hints of something to come in earlier books (and a big slap in the face in book 3). However, it wasn't quite perfect. The problem with this book was the part after Daine and Numair got back home. It was just a little confusing, how everything got together before the battle scene. Also, the end stopped just a little abruptly. Still, that just leaves lots of material for daydreaming with. After all, it's obvious that Daine and Numair get married. So until I get my hands on Pierce's next Tortall book, I leave it up to my imagination. All in all, this book was almost perfect. It summed up a great series with a great adventure and a good, viable romance, but left plenty to contemplate. Still, parts of it were a little confusing, so it wasn't quite perfect.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: It is the best book I have ever read
Review: Usualy I don't make a fuss when I am done with books, but in this book I was very fascinated with the story of the girl named Daine. I think that there should be another book to this series. Tamora Pierce really knows how to express the feelings of characters and how to describe something so that the book would not get boring in one place. You just want to keep on reading it and you end up "gulping" it down all in one day. I really hope that Tamora Pierce will continue writing about the country of Tortall and the people in it. I really liked that she included the heroine from her other books in this one. Alanna was Daine's friend. So I say that Tamara Pierce is a brilliant writer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome book
Review: What can I say? I LOVED this book. It was a satisfying conclusion,and I like the way Tamora Pierce has of finishing a Tortall series that makes you desperately want to know more. I'm hanging out for the next Tortall books. Tamora Pierce deserves top marks!
