Critic reviews

"With magic, spells, winged horses that are part human and part metal, crows that take human form, brutal fighting, treason, and attempted kidnapping, this fantasy has plenty to hold readers' attention." (School Library Journal)
"Trini Alvarado's pleasing voice adds youthful energy to Aly's escapades....[Her] performance is memorable." (AudioFile)
"A marvelous cast of characters, human, mage, and animal; a tangled web of political and racial tensions; and the promise of other Aly stories to come will engage Pierce's legions of fans and win over even more." (Booklist)

Tamara Pierce always weaves an interesting and intriguing story! Full of adventure, spies, and drama, this story is for anyone. I first read it as a child and still love it as an adult. Trini Alvarado gives a wonderful narration that keeps you hooked and interested.

Wonderful

Great listen. Enjoyed every moment of it. Wonder why author has not finished series. Well worth your while to listen to.

One of my Favorites

I can’t believe I’ve never written a review for Trickster’s Choice! It’s been a favorite of mine since the days I would check it out from the library (on cassette tape) and take it on road trips with my family.

This is one of my favorite comfort audiobooks and easily the series I’ve listened to more than any other. When I am sad and don’t want to be in my head, this is where I turn.

Pierce’s characters are solid and have held up well over time. Trini Alvarado is one of my favorite narrators and the genius of having her narrate the Alanna books and the Aly books is not lost on me.

This story is alive and close enough to touch. I can smell the food, and feel the stone of the keep. I am never bored in the Copper Isles with Aly, and you won’t be either.

love

Love this book!

Enjoyed it every time I have listened, and that has been several times. Tamora Pierce keeps getting better and better.

Another unique adventure

A wonderfully creative story of triumph over adversity and coming of age. The protagonist was so well developed and moved through the challenges that she faced in believable way. And the story continues! Can’t wait to start it.

STOP! WAIT!
