This one's a GREAT book by Tamora Pierce. It's about the daughter of a spymaster who gets captured as a slave. She makes a dubious friendship with a trickster god, learns how to speak with crows (especially a cute crow who morphs into manhood) and sets up an entire spy complex in the kingdom in which she is enslaved. If you like this one...try the sequel: Trickster Queen. It's also very good!
Hope I helped...enjoy.

I LOVED that book! After I read those two books, I went and read the ones about her mother, Alana. They were good too. I also got to understand her mom a bit more. Not that you got to see that much in the Trickster books. I forgot the name of her father, so when I was reading the Alana books, I didn't know who to root for. Yeah, I liked them okay.

I haven't read it... I might, but I didn't much like any other of Tamora Pierce's books, so I'm not sure...

Btw, there's already a thread for this book just a few topics over. ^_^

I have to say, I'm not Tamora Pierce's greatest fan. Not remotely. But this is one awesome book!
I must admit, I've yet to read the second one even though I read Trickster's Choice for the first time probably two years ago *looks sheepish* but I'll get around to it sometime. The thing that bothered me was the crow guy... I can't remember his name. Nawat? Something like that. Her whole fling with him is just really, really strange.
But otherwise, this book was amazing! And, I have to be honest, at least 10 times better than anything else she's written:)

I think these were some of her best books. I can't say I really enjoyed some of her other pieces. But Trickster's Choice and Trickster's Queen were really good. I kind of wish there was a few more books after those. But I guess that might have wrecked them..

I do like those books!!!!

But I also recommend the ones about Daine, her godmother/aunt type person. In the Trickster series, she's the only who has the shapeshifter baby.



Why should Caesar just get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar, right? Brutus is just as smart as Caesar, people totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that's not what Rome is about! We should totally just stab Caesar!
