Publisher's summary

Aly’s adventure continues. . . .

No longer a slave, Alanna’s daughter is now spying as part of an underground rebellion against the colonial rulers of the Copper Isles. The people in the rebellion believe that a prophecy in which a new queen will rise up to take the throne is about to be realized. Aly is busy keeping the potential teenage queen and her younger siblings safe, while also keeping her in the dark about her future. But Aly, who is usually adept at anticipating danger and changes, is in for a few nasty surprises.

New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tamora Pierce captured the imagination of audiences 20 years ago with Alanna: The First Adventure. As of August 2003, she has written 21 books including three completed quartets: The Song of the Lioness, The Immortals, and The Protector of the Small, set in the fantasy realm of Tortall. She has also written the Circle of Magic and The Circle Opens quartets. The author lives in New York, NY.

Find out how Aly first became a spy in Trickster's Choice.

Critic reviews

“The humour is wicked, and the plot twists will keep the pages turning to the supremely satisfying end.”—School Library Journal

One of my favorites

I’ve re-read this book several times in paper, and it was a pleasure to enjoy it again in audio. One of my favorite duologies ever.

Trickster's Treat bk2

Any additional comments?

Trickster's Choice & Trickster's Queen are at the 5star multi listen pinnacle of Tamora Pierce's EXCELLENT writing! These YA books are adult worthy audio that my daughter & I have been re-listening to for more than a decade. We finally got the audible files so she has them @ college too. Almost everything thing Tamora writes is solid 5 stars and her audio versions are reliably good. These two books [not too immature, too mature or too dark, w/ humor, drama, & love] are perennial favorites.

A Favorite

I honestly don’t know how I haven’t reviewed this one yet. Trickster’s Queen is one of my favorite audiobooks, and the series is my comfort in hard times. I will play the books back to back and then rinse and repeat when my brain is racing. Everything about the Trickster series makes me happy.
