Okay I've been reading these books and liked the first and the second ones the most. I haven't read the fourth(the last) book yet but I have a feeling I know how it ends(And I have a feeling I WON'T like who she ends up with,but that won't stop me from liking the book...) If you never heard of these books it centers around a girl named Alanna. She and her twin brother switched places so he could learn to be a sorcerer and hse could learn to be a night. I won't say anymore for those who want to read it.

The Song of the Lioness quartet is decent. I never took a liking to Alanna's magical powers and such, but it was alright. And who did you want Alanna to end up with?  Overall, I much prefer Tamora Pierce's Protector of the Small quartet. |

Ehhh I wanted her to end up with Jon, but she ended up with George(my friend told me) I'm okay with it its not controlling me(besides....there is always fanfiction ^_^) I also have been looking into some of Tamora Pierce's other books, I read the description to Protector of the Small quartet and have taken an interest in it. I'm going to the bookstore tomorow so you can guess what I'm going to buy!

I think everyone wanted her to end up with Jon. I know I did, at least. xD
The Protector of the Small quartet is much better, IMO. It's a bit of a disappointment if you're into shipping, though. But overall, I loved it. ♥

I'm not THAT into shipping (if I was I'd have burned practically all my books by now....and I have A LOT of books). But did you hear that in the original manuscript she WAS going to end up with Jon! But then Tamora changed it. Anyway, I'm pretty interested in 'The Protector of the Small' it sounds good and something I would like!

I'm going to the bookstore tomorow so you can guess what I'm going to buy! I'd recommend reading The Immortals Quartet before the Protector of the Small, just because that is chronologicly the way the flow: 0)Provost's Dogs (I think? I forgot about this one) 1)The Song of the Lioness 2)Immortals 3)Protector of the Small 3)Trickster's Choice/Queen My favorites are the POTS and Trickster's next is Wild Magic, then The Immortals, I haven't actully read Terrior yet, so I don't know how it is. I never wanted Alanna to end up with Jon. Especially after he proposed in WWRLM. He was so... I don't know... arragent (sp?) when he just expected Alanna to give up her freedom and marry him. I agree with what Tamora Pierce said on her website, which was something like: Alanna marring George just didn't feel right. ) |
