Reviewed by Candace Cunard for TeensReadToo.com Veralidaine Sarrasri--Daine to everyone who knows her--is thirteen years old, orphaned, and without a home. Her amazing rapport with animals gets her a job with a horsemaster named Onua, and the two women become fast companions during their arduous journey from Daine's homeland of Galla to the kingdom of Tortall, where they are to deliver their equine charges to the service of the Queen's Riders. Along the way, Daine's gift for communicating with animals becomes more and more apparent, and when she alerts Onua to the approach of dangerous Immortals known as Stormwings, who feed off of fear and death, her talent can no longer be ignored. It is revealed that, while she does not have the magical Gift required to become a sorcerer, she does have a rarer form known as wild magic that connects her to the animals around her. Under the auspices of one of the most powerful mages in the country, Daine begins to strengthen her natural affinity, but she's haunted by a past she won't share with anyone, and a secret fear that if she uses too much of her power to communicate with animals, even for the good of those around her, she might find herself losing her own humanity. In the eyes of the Tortallan nobles, her training is of great importance in the ongoing effort to protect the kingdom against the vicious Immortals who have begun appearing out of nowhere in the last few years. Pierce has once again delivered a plucky heroine that girls young and old can ally with. Daine's no-nonsense attitude, coupled with her naïve fascination for the way in which business is conducted in Tortall, make her a completely likable character. For an experienced author, returning to an old fictional world and attempting to see it through new eyes can be difficult, but it also has manifold pleasures for both the writer and the reader. In this first book of THE IMMORTALS QUARTET, Tamora Pierce returns to the world her LIONESS QUARTET first popularized, and fans of Alanna, Tortall's first female knight, will be pleased to see their favorite lady heroine appear in print once more, but this time as a secondary character to another young girl with the potential to become a strong woman in her own right.
Although this book is part of "The Great Discoveries Series," described in the foreword as "pop technical writing," sometimes (most of the time) this book is about David Foster Wallace as much as by him. I get the joke. Infinite Jest -> a history of infinity and we'll call a work of Wallace's 'compact.' See, funny. Actually, it's an interesting subject, and Wallace did yeoman's work, but man, this is a tough read. And I had some of the math in college (long ago). This book was probably marketed to two groups 1) fans of Wallace and 2) fans of popular math/science. Each group would find something to make their eyes glaze over. I wonder how large is the intersection of the two groups who actually finished the book. I enjoyed reading the book, but know no one with whom I would discuss it. Nor anyone I might recommend it to.

Queen of the Damned picks up where The Vampire Lestat leaves off, introduces us to new and interesting vampires, and deals with the question of what happens when the Queen wakes. The Legend of the Twins is entrancing, and Rice unfolds the origin of vampires in a definitive manner. More backstory is given on all the major players, but enough is left unsaid to provide fodder for many more Vampire Chronicles. Also interesting was the introduction of the Talamasca, and meeting Aaron Lightner for the first time. I read the Mayfair Witches books first, so it was really nice 'seeing' him again here. The only thing I really didn’t like was Stan Rice’s unintelligible poetry at the beginnings of some chapters.

A decent little prequel story to the 2007 film. I liked the last 3 issues are better than the first. I still prefer the classic transformer designs to these new ones -- the new ones worked ok in the film, but not as good in comics/animation as the originals ;)

yeah, i'm sure it was shocking for its time...beautifully written, although the ending kind of reminds me of when someone is trying really hard to make something super meaningful...i wont give it away though. It's short, you can find out for yourself.
