The Realms of the Gods

Summary: Pierce Rocks!
Review: The fourth and final book of the Immortals Quartet is just as wonderful as all the others. There's not much to say about Tamora Pierce that has not been said already.

The Immortals War is on, and Daine and Numair are in the thick of it. Called out to fight yet another unknown enemy, they find themselves in peril of loosing their lives. Suddenly, they are swept into the legendary Realms of the Gods, where Daine is reunited with her mother (now a minor goddess) and learns many secrets about her past. But the war goes on in the mortal realms, and Daine and Numair MUST get back to help. They undertake the extremely dangerous journey to Dragonlands, where the dragons-hopefully-will take them back to their home. During their journey, they realize that the war between the Great Gods and Chaos in this realm is related to their war in the mortal realms. While they travel, they learn even more about life, love, and eachother. But will they get back in time to save the entire world-even the Realms of the Gods-from falling into Chaos? And will they get out of it alive?

With a passionate romance, wonderful characters-god and mortal alike, and an intensely suspenseful plot, this is a amazing ending to an amazing series.

Review: I was reading a lot of newer fantasy and I happened to run across this series. _The Immortals_ was actually the first set of books by Tamora Pierce that I read in the whole series, I have to consider the previous quarter which began with _Alanna_ as the beginning of the series.

I don't know if I have all her books to date, but I do plan to reread the ones I have very soon. Her style of storytelling is engaging and in parts fun, and her characters, even for many of the fantastic elements, face some very real-life problems.

I'm a writer myself, so I read for style and content: and I can say she definitely has hefty doses of both in her books.
