Last night I finished the second book in Tamora Pierce's Immortals series, so I figured I'd share my short review. You can also read it on Goodreads by clicking here.
Wolf-Speaker moved a little slowly compared to the first book. It
wasn't quite as exciting, but I still enjoyed it very much. Daine
learns a few things in this book, including not judging a book by its
cover. Numair isn't in this book as much as he's in the first one, but
he's still great. We also get quite a few new characters that add to
the story, and the badger makes a few appearances.
The thing
that made this book feel as if it drug on was the fact that Daine spends
a lot of time just tagging along with some sort of animal instead of
actively doing something herself. Yes, that is the cool thing, in a
way, but it got old pretty fast. The most exciting part of the book for
me was near the end, when Daine herself was actually fighting in her
own form.
I had mixed feelings about the villains in this
book. I know that this is a book meant for younger teens, but I still
would have liked to know a bit more about them. The overall plot was
good, but the villains themselves seemed a little too one-sided to me.
Overall, I really liked this book and look forward to the next in the series.
