Review

“Daine . . . is an ideal heroine—adventurous, intelligent, and gifted with magical powers, yet down-to-earth and kind.”—School Library Journal


Product Description

A giftable boxed set of Tamora Pierce’s second acclaimed Tortall quartet: The Immortals. These four books chronicle the time when immortal creatures invade the world of Tortall and a girl called Daine is found to help the humans in their struggles. With help from the powerful mage Numair, Daine learns the immensity of her own wild magic, which enables her to speak to animals and ultimately to become one.

4.0 out of 5 stars the next set of books in the world of Tortall, Jul 18 2004
By "pretty-princess" (New Orleans, Louisiana United States) - See all my reviews
These books introduce a new heroine named Daine. She has the unusual gift of "wild magic", allowing her to speak with, and eventually, turn into animals. During this time in Tortall (the country where the books take place), Carthaki mages (Tortall's enemy) have opened up a portal to the Realms of the Gods and allowed "immortals", creatures who cannot die unless killed (as in they cannot die of old age) and who inhabited the earth thousands of years ago, to enter the realm of the living (i think thats what its called-just earth). These are Daine's adventures as she learns to control her wild magic, falls in love, and helps save Tortall. This takes place after Song of the Lioness (Alanna and others make appearances) so you should really read those before this quartet. People who love/ just like fantasy will enjoy these books, and people who like animals will love these also. I didnt like them quite as much as Song of the Lioness of Protector of the Small (the next quartet) but I stilled liked them A LOT! They're still up there in my favorite books list. My fav in this series is probably Emperor Mage.

5.0 out of 5 stars you get so hooked on these books!!!!, Jul 9 2004
By A Customer
The reason I read the immortals series was because one afternoon I felt like reading and I thought I'd read a horse book or something and so I looked in my sister's room for a good book. And it turns out she was lying on the bed so I asked her for a good book and she pointed out the immortals. and I said ok I'd read them and so I did but once I was halfway down the first page I was hooked I couldn't put it down except for sleep food and the necessary things(just kidding I watched a bit of TV in between). And after I finished that series I had to read the lioness also which was also excellent but I like the immortals better. But what I want to share with the public that this book is wildfire it is the next Harry potter that's how good it is!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!, Jul 1 2004
By A Customer
I first picked Wild Magic up in Borders as a 'filler' while I waited for the next Harry Potter. (I bought it because of the horses on the cover) It sat on my shelf for two months before I decided to read it. Much to my surprise, I found that I liked these books BETTER than Harry Potter! ( And that is saying something comsidering how obsessed I was with those!)

I was immediately hooked when I began the first Chapter and I couldn't put it down. By the time I nearly finished with the last book in the quartet, I was thoroughly depressed at the prospect of finishing Daine's story. I was so obsessed with the need to savor this book, that I wrapped it in several layers of rubber bands and hid it under my mattress. When I actually did finish it, I was depressed for a while knowing that there are no more books written from Daine's perspective. That is, I was depressed until I found Fanfiction.net. I have read every single piece of fanfiction about these books on the site, and I have even written a few of my own!

This book is so real that after a while, you can almost start to believe in Magic. Tamora Pierce creates such vivid, involving characters, that I literally fell in love with everyone; from the dashing Mage Numair, to the feisty pony Cloud.

I would recommend this book to anyone (not just kids) who likes good fantasy/adventure/romance books!!

I read these books first, but I recommend reading The Song of the Lioness first. (Which was also an awesome book!)

HAPPY READING!

4.0 out of 5 stars they are great
The Immortals Quartet are really good books, but I thought that "Wolfspeaker" was a bit boring. I would definately recommend them.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Immortals
Immortals are beings who don't die of old age or disease - to die they have to be killed. Some Immortals are good, but the majority are not. Read more
