Tamora Pierce discussion

Ok, I was just curious who everyone's favorite book or quartet was by Tamora Pierce. I know that it would be really hard for me to chose and wondered if anybody else had better luck.

Oh, gosh that's so hard!!! I'd have to say:
-Protector of the Small
-Song of the Lioness
-The Immortals
I really loved them all, but there were some really awesome characters in the Protector of the Small that I LOVED!!!! I just love them all almost equally actually, so this was super tough!

The Immortals Quartet. You can just really identify with her.
If you're counting ones that aren't in Tortall, then it's fairly close with the Circle Of Magic Quartet.

im reading the circle of magic. it's pretty good so far!! is the series good overall?

cool! thanks. are the tortall books better or worse in you're opinion?

I really enjoyed both of them, but The Circle of Magic was easier for me to start with whereas my friend started with the Alanna books. I really enjoy all of her works, but Kel, Sandry, and Aly would be some of my favorites.

I enjoy all of her books, but I like the first-person narration in the Beka Cooper books. I like how close you feel to Aly in Trickster's Choice and Trickster's Queen, too.

Is Circle of Magic anygood? I'm thinking about reading them, but not sure. In order from Favorite to least favorite in the Tortall World would be something like this.

1. Song of the Lioness
2. Tricksters Duet
3. Beka Cooper
4. Protector of the Small
5. The Immortals War

omg!! the 1st circle of magic's amazing so far!!!!!! i recommend it too!!! i like tris so far, sandry's ok, but talks 2 much, briar's pretty cool, and daja's awesome, but tris is still my favorite so far.....

i'll try and get it from the library. I tried reading it once, i think, but couldn't get into it...or maybe it was another book. I'm not sure anymore.

you should! i've just started the series and it rocks!!

i'll try. i have to find them first though.

probably but i'm library banned at the momnet. not aloud to check books out while i'm in school. apparently i get distracted....

don't u have a public library??

we do but i'm not aloud to go to it when i'm in school.

well... yeah, what about out of school? i go 2 my public library after school all the time.

my school library only has the tortall ones...but that's okay cause those are my favorites!

at my old school they just sat there on a shelf, getting old and forgotten till i found them and made my friends read them. they had the circle series ones, but i didn't want to read them...now i can't.

lol. yeah, same at my school. if i talk about tamora pierce, they're like, what?? so yeah, it's me and like 3 friends who read them.

lol. love it!

I've gotten a bunch of my friends to read Tamora Pierce so that is fun. The Circle books are super good, and they are what got me interested in Tamora Pierce so that is always special.

tortall got me interested. my aunt gave me the first test for my birthday years ago.

i buy all my tortall books used, beacuse I like the old covers better.

i'm getting my friends to read them. but the second book in the Song of the Lioness kind of freaked them out. Cause it was like Jonathan/Alanna, even though you actually didn't read anything.

lol! yeah, i've read worse. have any of u read rumors from the luxe series. now THAT gets suggestive! and breaking dawn is too.

it sucked. i hated that book!

it was like a big ff!! i have a list of complaints on the twilight lovers page

i read them all before the last one

i was obsessed, but now im not! breking dawn wasn't THAT bad. it was just random.

Twilight was more of a fad, but Harry Potter will live forever!

Hopefully!

exactly!!! HP 4ever!

that is true, but u really can't compare them. they're ttly different types of books and for different ages.

i like hp way more though!!

thats true

Same here!!!

hey anna!!!

we should stay on focus....this is a TP group....

Well, if it counts any at this moment my favorite series are the Circle books (all of them) and the Immortals Quartet.

yeps it still counts. thanks for getting us back on subject.

i still haven't read the circle books.

You're missing out.

i bet i am

I would have to say my favorite quartet is the Immortals. My favorite book (in a non series) is Will of the Empress

I think I have read most of the Circle books but not all of them.

I love Squire too. I also like Lady Knight from that siereis.

I love the Song of the Lioness series though, best one.

Well, probably Protector of the Small or Song of the Lioness. I mean, Alanna is by far my favorite, but I love seeing her in Protector of the Small after knowing what she went through in Song of the Lioness. But all of the Tortall books are incredible. Well, for that matter, so are the Circle books, but I like the Tortall universe better.

I love the Totall series, not that i've read the circle books but that was beacuse i coudln't get into them. I love Alanna too. I love anyone from the Song of the Lioness.

Beka Cooper AND Song of the Lioness.

How are we supposed to choose?
Probably POTS, because I love the story lines and Kel, but I love to see Alanna and Daine in those books. Hmmm… but the Song of the Lioness, Immortals and Beka are all so good!

Favorite is Circle of Magic. The Circle Opens sounded really good, but it isn't.
