This came in the mail yesterday, and though I was technically in the middle of another book at the time, Tamora Pierce is one of my favourite authors, so I couldn't resist the temptation to pick it up instead.
With the exception of The Will of the Empress, the books in the Circle series seem to be targeted towards a younger audience than her Tortall books, and this was no exception - actually I felt it was even more so, as Tamora Pierce here used a first person narrative rather than a third perso ...more

I don't "read" audiobooks, so I have no idea how successful this was (the book grew out of the audiobook) but... this will make the Pierce lovers happy.

A fairly forgettable young adult fantasy, this didn't hold my interest. I guess I'm like one of the characters - rocks just don't do much for me, and there's a lot about rocks.
