Tamora Pierce - Page 5

Elbereth · 08-24-2002, 08:23 PM

I am just reading ALANNA: THE FIRST ADVENTURE right now. I am on the chapter, the Black City.

I like it so far, though I think Pierce could write a bit better. I admire Alanna's honesty and conscience, and though I can't really relate to her, I think she'd make a good friend. I can relate to Thom, and hope to hear more about him. My other favorite charcters are Sir Myles, Gary and Raoul, and George the King of Thieves. What I don't like about the book is that Jonathan and Alanna seem to be developing a 'relationship'. I like them as friends. I almost wish Alanna was really a boy because of that. Please don't kill me.

Elenka · 08-26-2002, 08:57 AM

I love the book Wild Magic. Its one of my favorites. My other favorite would be probably the first Alanna book, can't rember what its called.

I really like the idea of talking with animals. I would just love it if I could talk to my horse for example. Communication with animals is a big part of my life.

Christiana · 09-05-2002, 06:59 PM

Oh my gosh,i just read Lady Knight,and it is so good!

TinuvielChild · 09-05-2002, 09:47 PM

Oh yeah, Lady Knight's out now, i'n't it?

Lady of Darkness · 09-26-2002, 07:41 AM

yupyupyupyupyupyupypuyupyupyupyup!!!!!!!

LoD, the woman who rides like a man and gets cold like a woman(especially when there is no heat turned on until the middle o f winter)

Christiana · 09-26-2002, 07:51 PM

TinuvielChild · 09-26-2002, 09:08 PM

LoD=Lady of Darkness

She is referring to herself, because I guess she's cold. LoD, you confuse me sometimes.

She sorta hit us over the head with that one, remember the "you'll die a virgin comments?" I hate that they didn't get together, but noneof her charaters ever match up with the people she starts them off with. Maybe she'll be like Buri, plus she isn't that old yet so there's still hope o a sidestory romanitc tale in another book.

Elenka · 10-07-2002, 07:36 PM

I just finished "Squire" I liked it so much I reread it. But my favorite is still the Alanna books.

I can't believe you people. You definetly like too much romance.

TinuvielChild · 10-07-2002, 09:32 PM

No sh*t, Sherlock! I read trashy romance novels. I would say that means I like romance too much, neh?

Lady of Darkness · 10-13-2002, 03:30 PM

i am not mushy
i am just bouncy
and my name is Tigger!
and I really need sleep
I agree that the Alanna books were better
does anyone else notice how Tamora Pierce writes the first half of the books at a liesurely pace but then realizes that she has to finish her seires in 4 books so she rushes up.
can't she write more than just 4?
LoD. the one who wants to murder mount Homework
don't try to figyre me out Christiana, you'll just hurt yourself (it's cause i'm so strange, don'tchaknow?)

Christiana · 10-13-2002, 06:35 PM

I was kind of hopeing that Kel would beat wyldon in a tilting match.

Lady of Darkness · 10-16-2002, 10:25 PM

ah yea but that would mean she would have to beat Raoul, too, huh?

LoD

Aideen_Everleaf · 10-19-2002, 08:33 PM

I absolutely love her books!! I read them all the time (probalby because I own one of her series). My favourite character is Tris from that series (I can't remeber right now), you know, the one with the four kids whose magic is woven together? I also like The Circle Opens series, but I am having a hard time trying to find all of the books. Anyway, Tamara Pierce rules!

TinuvielChild · 10-20-2002, 03:49 PM

Welcome Aideen_Everleaf! Although, perhaps, you might consider teaming up with LoD and learning how to spell/type...no offense, I say that to everyone that doesn't meet my insanely high standards for correct spelling and grammar. Don't mind me.

(It's Tamora Pierce, not Tamara)

Welcome, and be forewarned, there are many insane people here.

elvendrummer87 · 10-21-2002, 08:27 PM

tamora pierce is my favorite author besides Tolkien. I can't wait 'til Lady Knight comes out! Did you know she has a website?

TinuvielChild · 10-21-2002, 09:25 PM

Welcome, elvendrummer87! Um, don't know whether Lady Knight is out in Rohan yet, but here in the ol' US of A, it's been out since August something. I still haven't read it myself, but I've heard that it's not that great. I shan't post an opinion of my own until I actually read it, okay? Don't judge me for someone else's opinion. Enjoy your stay!

elvendrummer87 · 10-24-2002, 09:51 AM

yeah, I know it's out, but the library I work at hasn't got it yet. Also I haven't been to a bookstore in a few weeks so I suppose I should check there, too. (And just after I posted that, I checked amazon and they had it.

) And I'm from NJ. WHere're you from?

TinuvielChild · 10-24-2002, 09:59 PM

Boston. Much fun; Tater's from Boston, but he's gone now...

Anyway! Yeah. Well, technically, I'm from the Undying Lands, but I decided to move to Boston because I felt like it. I'm really one of the Maiar, you know.

elvendrummer87 · 10-28-2002, 06:21 PM

of course you are! I'm an Elf! Not that these are weird self-descriptions or anything...

God, I love Tolkien forums... lol
