Sandry has avoided the invitation for as long as it was possible. Now Sandry has agreed to pay that overdue visit. Sandry's uncle promises guards to accompany her. But they're hardly a group of warriors! They're her old friends from Winding Circle: Daja, Tris, and Briar. Sandry hardly knows them now. They've grown up and grown apart. Sandry isn't sure they'll ever find their old connection again - or if she even wants them to. When they arrive at the pala

For the past several years, I've been sloooowly making my way through all of Tamora Pierce's books, first with all the Tortall books, and then with Emelan. I've liked all the Emelan books, but have always preferred the Tortall books. This is the first Emelan book that has made that opinion waver a little. Maybe it's just because this is the first time Pierce's self-imposed structural limitations on this series have been lifted. The first four books were for children, about children (ten andI am heavily against sexual immorality in books and can't condone it. Briar is distracted, Daja goes weird, and Sandry tries to find love, but at least Tris stays sane. Nothing like a book for company.
Tamora Pierce and her Emelan time jumps. I want to follow these kids each year of their lives! But anyway, seeing them all grown up is fun. After being fractured they need to relearn each other and their bond, and it's great to read them rediscovering each other while also finding out how they've changed.The politics are cool, the audiobook is good (although my mom remarked that the narration sounded "mechanic" because she was listening in lol), and the ending just about made me cry because it

Second in The Circle Reforged subseries and tenth in the Emelan overall fantasy series for older middle-grade to young young adult readers due to the empress' interest in men and Briar's interest in women. No, there isn't any sex, but this is the first time that "interest" has been this much.If you're interested, there is a chronological listing of the Emelan Universe books on my website.My TakeThis is a sad one with the focus and story on all four of these sixteen-year-olds when they visit
Am tempted to rate this a little higher than I would otherwise to make up for the knee-jerk homosexuality-ruins-everything reviews. I think Pierce suffers from too many narrators. Or at least, something is going on in this book right now that makes her characters, usually rich if not super complex, strangely flat. A lot has happened since the last time we saw Sandry/Daja/Briar/Tris, and this book is not really going to walk us through it, instead leaving us with bitter versions of the previous
4 1/2 stars! "It's always us." :')
