Anybody here read Tamora Pierce?

The Circle of Magic books? The latest one, The Will of the Empress?


She's got one of the Circle in a same-sex romance.

:squeeble!:

Omg, yes. XD Tamora Pierce is one of my favorite authors.. ever. I sort of sped through Empress in a near-constant 'eee, yay!'

I'm firmly convinced Tamora Pierce is the non-fandom, lots of people read her, but.. no one talks about it.

And, yeah, however much I love it still, the first quartet is still the weakest. The fact that it was re-written from an adult novel probably says something about this.

... *cough* *can't help flailing about for a little bit*

I need to find out more about this "re-writing from an adult novel"--interesting!

I'm two-thirds of the way through Empress. Before fandom, I used to read books in one sitting. :P No such doing now--I'm on the computer too much! Isn't it pathetic?

Yeah... I'm pretty sure Tamora's said something about that. Her website is pretty good, I squee at the upcoming list of books.

Oh, I rarely read books in one sitting. XD; Just the pace of reading it, it seemed like it took up a very small amount of time. Some books you seem to meander through kind of slowly, others you're reading and you look up... and a few hundred pages have passed by (how big the book is helps in this). But, I understand about the computer taking up your time. *laugh*

She originally had Alanna's quartet (SotL) in one big adult novel, I believe. If I remember correctly, Jon and Alanna ended up together in that one.
But then she rewrote it and split it. Yay.

I really want to read the adult novel, but I believe it's out of print. ):.

Do you know the name of the adult novel? I would go looking for it in out-of-print sites!
