Tamora Pierce Daughter of the Lioness: 1. Trickster's Choice 2. Trickster's Queenbook review Trickster's Queen Daughter of the LionessTrickster’s Queen by Tamora Pierce

… Trickster’s Queen is Tamora Pierce’s longest and most complicated book … But for the first time we have a protagonist that is easy-going and laid back rather than focused and driven, and Aly is a loveable, enjoyable heroine… The story once again proves that Pierce is one of the masters of both YA and fantasy… this is an essential read for the Pierce fan… Trickster’s Queen may very well be considered her most sophisticated and complex novel… Read the rest.
