Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce

konvineo's review against another edition

4.0

I'm so happy I decided to pick this up. It's a bit difficult to explain how I feel after finishing the book. It wasn't a cozy read, since some truly wild things happen to Daine, and she herself does some batshit things. I guess it's a sort of nostalgic feeling, despite the fact that I've never read anything by Tamora Pierce before. I think it's the way it's written that reminds me of books from when I was a kid... which makes sense since the book was published in the 90's. So it's a miracle that I didn't get my grubby little fingers on anything by Pierce back then.
I'm definitely going to continue the series.

It’s probably been 20 years since I first read this series, and Daine is as delightful as ever! Tamora Pierce can write the hell out of a young female lead, a great supporting cast, and magic system. I was truly transported to Tortall again while reading this book!

this book is so dear to my heart, TP at her finest. Humor, plot, and a fun new take on Magic in the realm of Tortall make this a great leap into a fun quartet
