Relation To Books Tricksters (Daughter of the Lioness #1-2)

Sixteen is a rebellious age for most young people, and Aly is no exception. With her mother, the lady knight Alanna, forever being summoned to some crisis or other, and the young men of Tortall little more than diversions, Aly is bored and restless. Her father is second-in-command of the country's spies- of only he would let her be one! The former king of thieves, he had trained her in the arts of espionage and knows that she is capable of taking care of herself. But he won't risk losing his only daughter to the dangers of the field, so she spends her time helping him decode messages and dyeing her hair blue.

But everything changes when Aly, sailing alone down the coast of Tortall, is captured by pirates and winds up a slave to the Balitangs, a kindly noble family of the Copper Isles. Years of lessons in the Isles' history have prepared her for their dual cultures- those of luarin, or white, conquerors and those of the brown-skinned, or raka, natives. Fueled by prophecies of a twice-royal queen who will free them, the rakas' resentment keeps the realm in constant turmoil. But Aly is no weeping captive; she's determined to free herself.

Enter Kyprioth, patron god of the Isles, also known as Trickster, who is looking to shift the balance of power back to his raka worshipers. Aly makes a deal with the god: she will use her own trickster gifts to keep the Balitang children, especially the two teenage girls, safe through the summer. In exchange, Kyprioth will give her magical assistance in the form of spying crows and knowledge of events at court- and eventually, her freedom. But deals with gods are never simple matters; she doesn't count on becoming personally involved in the raka revolt, or with an unusual young man who has his own plans for Aly. ...

Column Of Books Tricksters (Daughter of the Lioness #1-2)

I love trickster folktales, so Tamora + Trickster should have been smash hit. I was a little too old when this came out, freshman in college, but this series still felt like catching up with old friends (Alanna, George, Kel!), and making new ones. Seeing from Aly's point of view the drawbacks of having the "Lioness" as a mother was great fun, and very humanizing.This series is probably the most political--we have slavery, and a community of color (the "Copper Isles") experiencing social

What a pleasure to re-read these books! No problem withstanding the test of time.

Absolutely amazing! I absolutely love this book; no matter how many times I read it I am still hooked and excited as ever. Just marvelous.

Loved these two books. Ali is such a different kind of heroine to her mother and it was refreshing and exciting. I enjoyed the intrigue and since George Cooper was one of my favourite characters from the series I'm glad to see more of him and his daughter. These two felt a bit more grown up than previous novels, perhaps as they were written as two larger novels rather than a quarter of shorter ones but the content seemed more complex: colonization, subjugation, racism, rebellion, intrigue, plots

This is my second time of reading these two books. I must say I am more impressed with them. The writing seems to have matured, as of course have the characters.

Tamora Pierce is one of my favorite Young Adult authors. She always has very strong female characters, even when they're not the lead. The Daughter of the Lioness series focuses on Alanna's daughter, Alianne. Both books are filled with interesting adventures. I recommend her books to anyone.

I'm late to reading Tamora Pierce's books, so I'm gradually catching up on her various series. I love the world she's created and the mix of magic, immortals, and swordfighting/vaguely medieval trappings. Plus her heroines are a lot of fun!
