Summary: The best series and book
Review: It seems Diane is just a normal person until Numair showed up and told her that she had wild magic. Then Diane learns more about herself than she ever dreamed of. In this book Diane and Numair are faced with certain death when her dead mother sweeps her into the divine realms or in other words in the realms of the gods. It is a amazing jurney and I knew that Numair liked her when she saw the glimpes of something important. The discription is wonderful. I love this book and have recomended this to one of my best friends, and get this, he can't stop reading it! I wish that I could be Diane. It would be worth all of the money in the world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a great book!!!
Review: I first started reading Wild Magic, and as another reveiwer put it, I got "addicted" to Tamora Pierce. Her books are like the best books in the whole world.

The blossoming romance between Diane and Numair really gives a sence of humanity and depth in the book which it otherwise would not have had. Tamora Pierce developes a great plot that leaves you wishing for more, and at the same time you are also satisfied.

I wish that Rikash hadn't died, because he was a nice reminder that not all things that you think are bad are actually bad.

Tamora Pierce also allows you to confuse the books within a series with each other, which I think is the mark of a good writer. She uses continuity throughout the series, so if I say something that belongs in another book, sorry.

Again, I thought that the romance between Diane and Numair was one of the best things that she could have done, because the plot is a litte less humanity oriented than the other books in the series.

If I am discouraging anyone from buying this book, I don't mean to, so just in case I am, you really should buy this book. It is a great conlusion to the end of the series, but it is also a really great book by itself.

Summary: Wild magic by Tamora Pierce
Review: Wild Magic was a great book. It's just something about it made me want to keep on reading. I don't know what it is though. Anything written by Tamora Pierce is a great book. I've read all of her books except for three. I'm really dying to read the 3 that I haven't read already. Like I said before, there is something about Tamora Pierce's books that kind of makes you to want to keep on turning the pages. Thank you for reading this review. This review goes the same for all of Tamora Pierce's books that she has written.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Most Compelling and Awesome Book I Have Ever Read
Review: This book is one of my favorites in the world. I have read it over and over several times. Daine and Numair are trapped in the realms of the gods and have to find a way to get back down to earth in order to save Tortall. While they are up there they learn about eachother and discover a love for one another. I suggest this to any true fantasy reader. However, I do suggest reading the books before it in the series before reading this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The thrilling conclusion to The Immortals Series
Review: In the Realm of the Gods 16-year-old Daine, who has been blessed with an unusually large amount of Wild Magic, and her companion, the powerful mage Numair, are pulled into the mysterious Realm of the Gods by Daine's mother to save their lives. But once they get there they know they need to leave as soon as possible. Tortall is under attack by the ex-emperor Ozorne and his army of evil immortals. Daine wants the gods to help them but their busy with their own fight against the Chaos who is feeding off of the carnage in the Immortals war. Daine and Numair must leave the realm of the gods, a very difficult process that they may not survive. And what will Tortall be like when they return?

Although The Realm of the Gods is probably my least favorite book in the Immortals series, it's still a thrilling fantasy story that I would recommend to fans of Tamora Pierce. The Immortals is probably one of my favorite quartets written by Tamora Pierce and each novel is a thrill. The stunning character development of Daine and the budding romance makes is a memorable series. I recommend this series to fans of fantasy for all ages. The only bad thing about me finishing this book is now I have to wait like everyone else before I can read a new Tamora Pierce book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I liked this book alot!
Review: I liked this book alot, first of all because I have been looking for it in paperback for the past, what, four months, I guess! I thing it's great for fantasy lovers. Tamora Pierce is a definite favorite author of mine, and this is one of her great works. I like the main character, Daine, and the badduns are pretty realistic, compared to other dumb fantasy books. They really should try to make a movie for at least one of Tammy's books, but it won't turn out 1/4 as good as any of them. I liked the Emperor Mage and The Price of Immortality. I think it's my favorite

You Should Read The Emperor Mage and definatly The Price Of Immortality by C.M. Whitlock

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Well...
Review: Let me start out by saying how much I loved Wild Magic and Wolf-Speaker. Well, I loved them! But when I got to Emperor Mage, I thought that it lacked the spark of the previous novels, though it was still quite good. And when I got this book, I just...almost threw it across the room.(Not that I would ever,ever do that to a book.) It disappointed me very thoroughly. I thought that the story between Numair and Daine was ridiculus, though I can't get too mad because, as long as they loved each other...It disgusted me when all they talked about was how great, wonderful, and perfect Daine was.There are other characters, you know! It especially infuriated me in the new series Protector of the Small(which is a very, very good series) they mentioned Daine as the Wildmage, and they only talked about her when they talked about the War(which does make some sense, now that I think about it, because she can talk to the animals, and can talk to the Immortals better...), but she didn't win the war by herself! Grr...For all the readers out there who loved the book and are gasping in fury at me(I know there are some), please remember that this is my opinion of this book. If you don't want to listen to my opinion, that's just fine. I just don't want people to blow up at me...Well...I guess I have mixed emotions about this book, and whenever I see something that irritates me, I try to see it from both sides, but some are just infuriating. This is a weird and jumbled review, I know. Sorry. :P

Summary: Stunning Conclusion of a Great Series!!
Review: Tamora Pierce proves her writing abilities once again in this last installment of "The Immortals" series. Along with saving Tortall from immortals, making new friends, going to the Divine Realms, and a budding romance, you will be sure to be swept up in Daine and Numair's greatest adventure.
With Tamora Pierce's wonderful, witty, and insightful writing, "The Realms of Gods" is made more and more enjoyable. I strongly recomend that you read this fabulous book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A breath taking conclusion
Review: This was the best book in the series and a wonderful way to bring this series to a close. Daine and Numair travel to the realms of the gods(hence the title) where Daine finally meets her father. She is reunited with her mother who has becomed a lesser god. Her mother wants Daine to live with her, but it is important for Daine and Numair to return back to their world with trouble brewing in Tortall. They must journey to the Dragonlands and run into many obstacles along the way. In the end they return safely, just in time for Daine and her wild magic to save Tortall. You see some old faces such as the Badger god, Kitten, Tkaa, the Stormwings, and Emperor Ozorne, but are also introduced to new sorts of creatures
In the middle of all of this is the blossoming romance between Daine and Numair. There were hints that Numair loved Daine in a more than a fatherly way in Emperor Mage and in this book it fully develops. Pierce really illustates this relationship very well, drawing it out, and keeping you in suspense of whether it will really happen. This was something that did not happen in the Alanna books. The relationship between them seemed to me very innocent which made it all the better. The only thing I diliked about this book was you really don't know what ends up happening to Numair and Daine's relationship. Perhaps it will be revealed in Kel's books as Pierce often brings character from past series back.(On of the many things I love about her writing.) I suggust that any fan of Tamora Pierce read this book- I know I absolutely loved it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tamora is the author I've been looking for!
Review: I was taken away by the first Pierce book I read (The Lioness Quartet) and I thought that I could never find a book that could top it. Boy was I wrong. The Immortals series brings you into the book and into the story. It has that kind of magic that makes you feel every emotion that they feel. You get to know the characters like if you yourself knew them personaly. This is true for all of Tamora's books. I hope you take my advice and at least read The Immortals series and I promise you that you like, if not love it.
