Query: her other books r better...

i finished this book about 6 hours after i got it, and in all honesty, it really didnt satisfy me much. this is mostly because they seemed slightly childish to me, compared to tamora pierce's other works. i was 13 when i read this book, and i think that this was also a factor. for younger kids this book is excelent. for those 13 and over its just annoying. ifr ur over 13 and this intrested u try 'alanna; the first adventure' instead. if ur 12 or younger go for it, ull probably like it.
