Editorial reviews

As with the other books in this fantasy series, this story revolves around four mage apprentices, though it focuses on Daja Kisubo, who is skilled with fire and learning the art of smithing. Daja creates a living vine out of metal, which traders seek to purchase. Pierce, known for her fantasy series portraying strong, young female characters, has created another intriguing person in Daja; the young performer who plays her creates a believable, likable Daja who is by turns wistful and belligerent. Author Pierce narrates this story along with a cast of 16, all well suited to their characters. This approach lends a depth to the story and will assure Pierce fans that it is read the way the writer imagined it.

Publisher's summary

The magic is out of control!

On a journey to Gold Ridge, the four young mages-in-training, Daja, Sandry, Tris, and Briar, find their special magics overlapping, sometimes in frightening and destructive ways. One burst of this combined magic leads Daja to create an astonishing vine made of living metal.

Her creation is worth a small fortune. But can Daja bargain with the Traders who cast her out without losing her soul?

Once again, Tamora Pierce, America's most popular writer of young adult fantasy, leads the Full Cast Family in a thrilling exploration of her intricately woven Circle of Magic.

Follow the adventures of all the young mages-in-training with Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic series.

Critic reviews

Favorite of the Circle Books

Fantastic heartwarming story of friendship and self identity, decent performance, strong female characters. I frequently listen as a recurring "comfort read".

Wonderful!

Absolutely Loved It! However, I personally found the music and sound effects a little distracting, but everyone has their own opinions. :) Get this book, you won't regret it!

Book 3 just as good as the first two.

To see how the mages are viewed in society and learn more of trader customs makes this book uniquely different and exciting.

One of my favorites

I adore everyone in this this series but for some reason I've always loved Dajas stories the most. Her trader culture is fascinating and her straight forward no nonsense attitude is refreshing. The full cast presentation is great although sometimes the three girl voice actresses can get confusing when the author doesn't present them when they speak, like 'Daja said...' The dialogue just starts
