“Tortall and Other Lands” by Tamora Pierce

Tamora Pierce is one of my favorite authors. I read everything she writes.

This is a collection of short stories. Some are fantasy, some are more realistic, some are about characters we already know and love, like Daine and Kit, and Nawat and Aly. I definitely liked the stories that took place in Pierce’s already-rich world that included Tortall. The more contemporary stories weren’t as enjoyable for me because I was expecting fantasy.

This was a good collection. I liked nearly all of the stories in this one. My favorite was “The Dragon’s Tale”, told from Kitten’s point of view. Daine and Numair’s quartet of stories is still my favorite of all of Pierce’s stories, and Kit was one of my favorite characters in those stories, so it was really neat to read about them again. An 8 from me.
