19 posts | 13 read | 15 to read
The must-have guide for any fan of #1 New York Times bestselling fantasy author TAMORA PIERCE! Enter the world of Tortall in this full-color, behind-the-scenes collectible guide, brought to you by the author who Sarah J. Maas says -shaped [her] not only as a young writer but also as a young woman- and whom Leigh Bardugo calls -the real lioness.- The secrets of Tortall are revealed. . . . As Tortall's spymaster, George Cooper has sensitive documents from all corners of the realm. When Alanna sends him a surprising letter, he cleans out his office and discovers letters from when King Jonathan and Queen Thayet first ascended the throne, notes on creating the Shadow Service of spies, threat-level profiles on favorite characters, Daine's notes on immortals, as well as family papers, such as Aly's first report as a young spy and Neal's lessons with the Lioness. This rich guide also includes the first official timeline of Tortallan events from when it became a sovereign nation to the year Aly gives birth to triplets. Part history, part spy training manual, and entirely fascinating, this beautiful guide makes a perfect gift and is ideal for anyone who loves Alanna, King Jonathan, Queen Thayet, Kel, Neal, Aly, Thom, Daine, Numair, and the unforgettable world of Tortall! -Tamora Pierce creates epic worlds populated by girls and women of bravery, heart, and strength. Her work inspired a generation of writers and continues to inspire us.- --HOLLY BLACK, #1 New York Times bestselling author -Few authors can slay so effectively with a single sentence--I mean fist-in-the-air, shouting-at-my-book slay--as Tamora Pierce. All these years later, I still draw strength from her words.- --MARIE LU, #1 New York Times bestselling author

I‘ve genuinely enjoyed this book, there is A Ton of information in it. So if you, like me, enjoy just reading a shit ton about the worldbuilding about books you enjoy id highly recommend it. I would also recommend reading at least the original 3 quarters first but if you really want to read the worldbuilding first then I guess it‘s up to you. It does contain spoilers for the original 3 quarters and the tricksters duology.

Good but I wish there was more new information and less review of things lovers Tortall (aka the only people who will ever read this book) already know well. (I also did not really need so much advice on how to be a spy).

This book makes me so happy. Ordered it for my birthday as a fun thing, not expecting a lot from it. But it‘s delightful. Nicely put together, interesting tidbits about the characters, great pictures, and a timeline! Tortall was the fantasy land I always wanted to visit, more than Middle Earth, Narnia, or even Earthsea. This book makes teenage me squee. Great present to myself!

It‘s been awhile since I read & loved Tamora Pierce‘s Tortall books and this fantastic Spy‘s Guide brings all the fun of Alana & the Coopers‘ adventures to life! It‘s designed to look handwritten & is also illustrated - including Cooper family letters & official-looking documents, spy reports with drawn mugshots, notes on Immortals, and more! Includes an indispensable official chronology of Tortall - I have needed that forever! Gorgeous book 💕

George Cooper has always been my top book husband. I have adored this character ever since I first read Song of the Lioness as a child. I also love his relationship with Alanna. I'd marry George any day. 😘 #noteworthynovember #marriage #tortall #fantasy

Hubs went out for the night with a friend, so I brought my #LitsyPartyofOne home. #Tortall is the perfect bookish way to end my day ☺️

It might be a tad cheesy, but I really love how this book (which is written in the format of notes & letters collected/written by one of my all-time favorite characters, George Cooper - #teamGeorge) was formatted to appear like an older text. Really excellent graphic design choice! 👍🏻💯

JazzFeathers It looks awesome 😍 6y
