Resumen del Editor

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.

One of My Favorites with Full Cast

Where does Wild Magic rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's one of my all time favorite books and a favorite audiobook that I return to every few years.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Numair Salmalin...he's my all time favorite male lead, because he's smart, practical, goofy, and an all around good person.

What about Tamora Pierce’s performance did you like?

I'm a huge fan of hers, so to have something read by her is amazing. I also love that it's full cast, which gives it almost a performance piece vibe. My only complaint is that the woman cast for Daine could be a bit whiny at times. When I read in my mind for Daine, her voice comes off as matter-of-fact, not whimpering.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book is so nostalgic for me and whenever I read it or listen to it, I discover new aspects of it. It's a book you can read at 14 and love, and read ten years later and realize how well-written it was and how much it shapes a lot of your own thoughts. It really resonates.

Any additional comments?

If you haven't read any of Tamora Pierce's Tortall books, I recommend starting with Song of the Lioness quartet, but this is actually the book that got me into Tortall. They're great books for young adults and many of my friends who also read this as young adults find themselves rereading the books well into their 30s, because they really stay with you. They are severely underrated and deserving of their own TV and film adaptations. I'm nearing 30 myself and I not only reread them, but I've kept up with her books, and am eagerly waiting for her to publish more.

Love love love

Love all of tamora pierces books can't get enough!!!!! This four book series is one of my most favorite ones. You should get it along with all other tortal books

Wonderful Coming of Age Story

You can't go wrong listening to anything by Tamora Pierce and Full Cast Audio. Instead of listening, you live the book.

Fun Story, Production Sounds a Little Cheesy

This was a fun adventure story, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. In the beginning, I thought the narration was a little goofy and offputting, but it was nice to have voices for all the characters separate from the narrator. And I got used to the cheesy-Ness. Definitely a young teen story, but still fun for this adult. Hoping there's another story to follow.

I grew up with these books

I am partial to these stories because I grew up reading them. Now I listen to them on long rides or during housework. They are easy to follow and engaging. I also enjoy the dynamics between the strong female lead and other strong female and male characters.

An Amazing Experience

ive loved this book series for many years. this audio was my solace as i was sick. it kept me sane and entertained me. i loved it so much.

Fantastic!

I've read this series more times than I could count. The story is phenomenal. I honestly got the audiobook because I was curious if one particular part roughly midway through the book was narrated as expressively as my brain did it and let me tell you, it absolutely WAS. I was cackling in my car listening to Numair have a meltdown. I didn't necessarily love the way non-voices were narrated (felt a little too stiff to me compared to the talking) but it wasn't really distracting from the story so I didn't take any points off the rating for it. All in all, 10/10 will listen again.

Amazing!

This was a thorough and entertaining version of one of my favorites! Voice actors were spot on, and there were some small sounds effects that made it even better.

went too fast

Great book. I couldn't stop listening. Great performamce of the voice actors. one two three

Favorite

This is one of my favorite books. The things Daine goes through and the wild and wonderful characters she meets. I laugh and cry. I have read and listened to this book countless times and it never gets old. So much joy.
