By Tamora Pierce
1. Trickster's Choice. 5Q, 5P
-
After a fight with her mother, King's Champion Alanna the Lioness, Alianne runs away from Pirate's Swoop and is captured by bandits and sold into slavery on the exotic Copper Isles. She serves a noble household and becomes embroiled in a conflict between the native raka people of the isles, who are planning a rebellion for more freedom, since they have been oppressed by the luarin ruling class. Under the protection of the Trickster God, Kyprioth, Aly learns she is part of a plan to create massive change and meddle in the affairs of the islands. Well written, fast paced and engrossing with romance, humour and action, this book has something for everyone. The beginning is a little hard to get into, but persevere and you will be rewarded!
