Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Claire

This is the second book in a series about Tortall. There is another series you should read before this one called The Song of the Lioness. It is also about Tortall. Both of these series are fantasy.

In this book, Daine has gone to Carthak with others to try to make peace with Carthak. Daine is also there to heal Emporer Ozorne's sick birds. She has strict instructions NOT to cause trouble, but can she do it? The Badger is still helping Daine and has given her a mysterious gift. I enjoyed this book but I think Pierce has written better books (like the Song of the Lioness)
