I loved this story. Not only because it opened up a hole new land and culture but because it had so much added demantion of character and ploting sneekeiness. Pluse we got glimpses for the lifes of past favoriets from other books and what they were up to now. Once again a real strong heroine and awsome supoting cast.
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.
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.
Tamora Pierce's world of Tortall is a gold-mine for novels - and 'Tricksters' is such a great continuation of the Allana series.
THIS BOOK IS SUCH A WORK OF PERFECTION THAT NOTHING CAN BE SAID. YOU MUST READ IT YOURSELF.

I liked the first book in this series but it was nowhere near as good as Tamora's other books.
I skipped through the second book and pretty much just read the end.
That being said it was nice to be able to reconnect with the other characters and get a brief look into what they are doing now

Hehe... can't remember if I read this or not... I'll have to look for it at the library.
Not my favorite set of books in the series but was still quite enjoyable.
Aly is such a brave and resourceful person!
i absolutly love Tamora Pierce books!!!
I have the feeling that this isn't what it's titled as. . . I think i've read this as Trickster's Choice, with a sequel called Trickster's Queen. :( I thought that this was an entirely new book. . .
This is a truly top notch fantasy series, dappled with a few extremely well written characters, set in a wonderfully developed fantasy realm, teeming with intelligence, cunning, and intrigue. Its two books are separate novels, each with their own beginning, middle and end, and each show a different progression of a fascinating girl becoming a formidable spy-master.
Loved these books.
Wonderful little mini series that one can finish in about 3-4 days.
Aly is a wonderful character that I will continue to read about over and over.

eh. I slogged through, but won't pick up the next.
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!
Fun book. Quick read. Nothing too special, but at least it's content was appropriate.

Hey, folks! I just discovered that apparently I have given some very popular books single-star ratings--except I haven't. How do I know I haven't? Because I haven't read those books at all. So before you go getting all hacked off at me for trashing your favorites, know that I've written GoodReads to find out what's going on.
