Tempests and Slaughter by Tamora Pierce
4.0
The Wild Magic series was one of my favorites as a kid, and I loved Numair, so I was excited to read about his early days. Pierce is a great writer, and I loved the first 3/4 or so of this book. Then it started to get a little slow. Nothing really happens, and the conclusion is just a set-up for the next book in the series. The worldbuilding is fantastic, but I did expect more plot to show up, especially since her other books are pretty action-packed.
It's also character driven, which I like. I can't lie, Ozorne is my favorite, even knowing how he grows up...or maybe because of that, because I enjoy a good complex villain.
tbh I spent most of the book assuming Ozorne was gay/bi and in love with Arram and then it didn't happen...Guess I've read too much fanfic? But I did appreciate the diversity in this book, with different identities and ethnicities represented.
I'll definitely read the next one, and hopefully it will be a bit more fast paced.
