Wild Magic
Wild Magic | Tamora Pierce
Thirteen-year-old DaIne has always had a knack with animals, but it's not until she's forced to leave home that she realizes it's more than a knack -- it's magic. With this wild magic, not only can Daine speak to animals, but also she can make them obey her. Daine takes a job handling horses for the Queen's Riders, where she meets the master mage Numair and becomes his student. Under Numair's guidance, Daine explores the scope of her magic. But she begins to sense other beings too: immortals. These bloodthirsty monsters have been imprisoned in the Divine Realms for the past four hundred years, but now someone has broken the barrier. It's up to Daine and her friends to defend their world from an immortal attack.

I mentioned to my friend that I needed a palette cleanser after finishing this last semester. She got so excited and told me all about this series she had read and loved as a young girl. When someone‘s eyes light up when discussing a book, you read that book. I am SO glad I did. Strong female characters, good world-building, the magic made sense. I loved the dialogue. A young girl who can talk to animals!? Middle-school-me would‘ve swooned! ☺️

Daines turn! I love her so much y‘all, kel will always hold court as my favourite but before there was Kel there was Daine and there‘s a special place in my heart for this lovely wild girl who is (understandably) So So scared of herself and what she can do. Lucky for her she‘s about to find the best friends (family) a young girl could ask for.

I grew up rereading the Song of the Lioness quartet but never picked up any of the other Tortall books! Wild Magic introduces Daine, a young heroine with “wild magic” (instead of the Gift) and a tragic and mysterious past who can speak and cooperate with animals. I enjoyed Wild Magic but it was a slower and slightly less engaging series-starter than Alana for me. Absolutely continuing the series, but switching to audio for the next one.

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards I did the opposite - loved the Wild Magic quartet growing up and couldn't manage to track down all the Alanna books until I was in college! Such a great series - I can't wait for the next Numair book to come out. 1y
underground_bks @SaunteringVaguelyDownwards that‘s so funny! Is the Wild Magic quartet still your favorite over Song of the Lioness? 1y

I liked this book. Good fantasy. Main character, Daine, is a 13 year old girl. She doesn't have a specific gift of magic, but she has wild magic. There are a lot of animals in here, horses, birds, badgers, cats, as well as harpies, spidrens, gryphons, dragons. Daine is hired on as an assistant horse specialist and travels with her across the land. They encounter some danger and finally arrive. A mage starts to train her in using her wild magic.

I adored this story. It was sweet and heartwarming, but didn't lack for action and adventure either. Hearing/Watching as Daine grew up across the pages, growing into her magic and discovering her new family after all she had lost... 100% I am going to be reading the rest of these stories!

Book 120, audio

Revisiting some old friends with this book. When I first read it I was a little older than Daine is, and I related to her as a fellow animal lover and I wished I could talk to them too. Now I've got daughters who are about her age and Ms Pierce 100% captured that awkward stressful time between Woman and Girl that is a 13 year old.

Amazing enough for me to revisit the whole quartet more than two more times as an adult! It starts off with horses but trust me, there‘s far more to Tortall than just horses.

I think I love Daine even more than Allana. Her wildness & vulnerability, her love & connection to the world, esp the animals, around her, & just the way she never hesitates to stand up for others makes her amazing in my eyes. I also loved watching her try to figure out the people around her-like her I‘m often just befuddled at the ways people behave. I‘m looking forward to the next installment of her story.

This is one of my favorite Pierce books. The main character is fiesty and passionate, but also has a lot to learn about who she is and what she can do. Also, this form of magic - Wild Magic - is one of my favorite renderings of what a world with magic could be like.

Tamora Pierce has written a stunning Fantasy novel and created a world full of strong female characters with grown up relationships. I realise this was first published some time ago and I‘m sorry it had passed me by, but now I‘m truly smitten and will be reading more of this series.

“Hedgehogs woke Daine as they wriggled into her bedroll, shaking in terror. It wasn‘t the controlled fear they felt around hunters, but the wild panic that made them run before a fire. She eased out of the covers. ‘It‘s all right,‘ she whispered. ‘Stay here.‘”.....I‘m loving the writing, the world building is so good and I‘m only at chapter 3....

The downside of being at work is that I don‘t have access to my own books for any #24in48 challenges, but I do work in a library, soooo...

I loved Tamora Pierce‘s Tortall books as a kid, and they‘re probably why I‘m still an avid fantasy reader today. I‘m pretty sure all of mine are in boxes somewhere in my Dad‘s house, but I also broke down and bought the kindle versions a few years ago.

Side note: This copy has been in my library since 1994.

Last night at the #fiercefriday event I met one of my all time favorite authors, Tamora Pierce. This woman helped solidify my love of reading growing up as well as my love for fantasy novels. She has always written books about powerful, intelligent women and has been an inspiration for me for years. I'm so grateful to have met her.

Me: Ugh, I'm just not connecting with any YA fantasy books these days. Maybe I've finally outgrown this genre, ten years after my teens ended

Also me: *rereads an entire YA fantasy series in one weekend*

Tamora Pierce's newest book about Numair made me want to revisit this earlier series. Wild Magic is one of those books I've read a million times, but I think this might be only my second time through the rest of the series. Good to be back!

MarriedtoMrT Emperor Mage is my favorite of the series. I love that book so much. 6y
emtobiasz Emperor Mage was so much more fulfilling after reading the new book about Numair! Have you read it yet @MarriedtoMrT ? 6y
MarriedtoMrT @emtobiasz Not yet. I promised myself I would read them in pub order and I‘ve gotten stuck in Kel‘s quartet. One more to go before I move to the Trickster duet. 6y
emtobiasz @MarriedtoMrT Fair enough. A lot of them have spoilers for books written previously, when you read them out of order, but I don't think skipping ahead to Numair's would ruin anything. I found the new one slow but would have enjoyed it more if the Immortals books had been fresh in my mind instead of 15+ years old, I think. 6y
