Query: Not as exciting and interesting as Lioness and Immortals

Sandry's Book was okay. The character development was not the best. I liked Tamora Pierce's other books better, because they were much more exciting and it wasn't ALWAYS OBVIOUS what the characters will do next. So if you haven't read the Song of the Lioness or the Immortals Quartets and you are thinking about reading the Circle of Magic first please STOP!!!!!! Read the other ones first and realize the best that this amazing author can do.
