Editorial reviews

In this fantasy we meet another strong, young female character with special powers. Daine is gifted in many ways - she's an excellent archer - but her special talent lies in her ability with animals, who seem to listen to her words. Daine earns a job working for Onua, the queen's horse mistress, who is impressed by the girl's powers. Tamora Pierce leads in narrating this exciting tale, which is lovingly detailed and populated by a cast of almost thirty people (including the writer's husband). Once listeners get used to the story switching from the narrator's voice to those of the actors, they will be pleased at its fanciful magic.

Publisher's summary

When Daine comes down from the mountains, she carries with her two things: a dark secret about her own past, and a strangely powerful magic that even she doesn't understand.

Soon Daine has a job working for Onua, the queen's horsemistress, who is astonished at the girl's way with animals. It's almost as if she can speak to them....

Daine and Onua travel to Pirate's Swoop, where Daine finds herself swept into a war that threatens all of Tortall, a war where magic is one of the main weapons.

The wall between the worlds is cracking.

The magical creatures are returning.

Now Daine must master her own magic, and face her own dark memories, if she is to save her new home from destruction.

Awsome full cast performance!

If you could sum up Wild Magic in three words, what would they be?

rivating, consuming, awsome

Who was your favorite character and why?

The narrator, Tamora Pierce herself. Her voice is her voice.

What about Tamora Pierce’s performance did you like?

She knew the story inside and out and her untrained voice always brought you back to the story.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Each of the cased members were able to say their lines to the fullest since their lines where only that of the one character. It was like listening to a play or the old radio programs.

Any additional comments?

Once you listen to this one, you'll want the other three.

amazing

the full cast audio family and Tamora Pierce pull the reader into the magical realm of Tortall in a way that the narrator for the "Song of the Lioness" Quartet couldn't do.

Fun to listen to and imagine again.

I have been a Tamora Pearce fan for a long time. Now I am again. Wonderful characters and an intriguing magic concept - wild magic. I look forward to hearing the next three in the series.

Dang It, Daine

I loved everything and everyone except Daine. I have it on good word that she becomes less naïve as the series moves forward, but it is really cloying in this book to be sure.
Still worth the read though. This is a fun, quick story.

a type of full cast audio

Didn't know what to expect. This is a great full cast audio. The different voices fit the characters very well. Have listened to this multiple times. I enjoyed the story. The characters are interesting. Each fit the story well. A good story for young and young at heart.
