This is still not my favorite of the Circle books--due mainly to the oddity of going back in time after WotE, I think, but partially to the sudden turn for the divine; I'm still not used to Emelan's mythology playing such a huge roll in the books--but man, I love Briar and Evvy and Rosethorn.I was appalled for the longest time, not knowing what story I'd missed as they went on about Yanjing, while I had no idea what they were talking about. I though, Surely, I would remember them going through a war?! I looked online, but could not seem to find one of her books I'd yet to read. It pleases me greatly that I could not find it because it has yet to be written, and that it will be soon, but it also vexes me that it comes AFTER "The Will of the Empress" and "Melting Stones". I suppose
I have loved Tamora Pierce's books since second grade. She has always been my favorite author and it kills me that I didn't like this book. Will of the Empress is my favorite of hers, hands down, and I was expecting Battle Magic to be along the same lines in quality. Instead, the book felt very empty. As usual, the action scenes are superbly written, but I feel as though the characters weren't as fleshed out as normal. The side characters felt very two-dimensional. In addition, a lot of what
while i love Briar and Evy, i wish this wasnt set in the past because i want to see how everyone else is doing. i already know what happened to them in Yanjing traumatized them but i dont have an urge to find out. i am much more interested in what happens after the will of the empress....ill still read this one though and then ill read melting stones.
Rosethorn is still weak from her death and magic-fueled resurrection, so she embarks upon a lifelong dream: a tour of the world's gardens. Her protege Briar comes along, both to see the gardens and to keep an eye on her health, and with Briar comes his new student Evvy. The book opens as they end their visit to Gyongxe, a sort of pseudo-Tibet (sky burials, led by a child chosen to rule because he literally has the wisdom&personalities of elders within him, mountainous, etc). They are invited
3.5 stars but rounded up. Not my fav Tamora Pierce book, but still good.
