Emperor Mage: The Immortals: Book 3 (The Immortals)

About the Author TAMORA PIERCE has published more than two dozen novels, including the New York Times bestsellers Trickster’s Choice and Will of the Empress. She lives in Syracuse, New York. Product Description Daine accompanies a Tortallan delegation to the court of Ozorne in the third volume of Pierce’s phenomenally popular Immortals Quartet. But as she enters a glittering world laced with danger and treachery, the danger grows even more intense when the gods themselves push her to use her wild magic for their own ends. Review For book: "This impressive entry in Pierce's saga will leave fans clamoring for more." --Booklist (starred review)For book: "A complex, carefully crafted, and suspenseful adventure with an appealing heroine who is developing an enthusiastic following." --Horn Book From AudioFile The third book in Pierce's Immortals quartet takes Daine of Tortall, the girl who talks to animals, on a dangerous diplomatic mission to the court of Emperor Ozorne. Daine's magical gifts are tested by everything from birds and rats to dragons and "stormwings." Even dinosaur skeletons get into the act. A full cast brings the faraway land of Carthak to vivid life, complete with castle, aviary, menagerie, and dusty temples. Carmen Viviano-Crafts, who also voiced Daine in WILD MAGIC and WOLF SPEAKER, has the perfect voice for the determined teenage girl. A cast of more than 30 and dramatic music give the feel of a blockbuster to the production. Although this installment is not the best place to enter this series, those who do start here will eventually want to go back and hear what they've missed. M.M.C. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
