Product Description
Aly’s adventure continues. . . . No longer a slave, Alanna’s daughter is now spying as part of an underground rebellion against the colonial rulers of the Copper Isles. The people in the rebellion believe that a prophecy in which a new queen will rise up to take the throne is about to be realized. Aly is busy keeping the potential teenage queen and her younger siblings safe, while also keeping her in the dark about her future. But Aly, who is usually adept at anticipating danger and changes, is in for a few nasty surprises.

Is Tamora Pierce even capable of letting us down?,
This review is from: Trickster's Queen (Aliane) (Hardcover)
Well, it doesn't seem so. Except for the fact that every book ends. With it comes heartbreak, because you don't want such a great book to do anything even close to ending. Aly is now the (sort of) spymaster in the Balitang household as they return to Court. She spreads rumors and broadens her spy-network to help the raka-conspiracy. She's witty and fun, but a little more human in this book. Apart from the ending, the only letdown was the fact that there was so little (dare I say nothing?) about my very favourite Tortall heroine. But that's no reason not to buy the book. It's fast-paced, and best of all, it makes sense! People do stuff for a reason.

Aly's journey,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trickster's Queen (Aliane) (Hardcover)
As the sequel to Tricksters Choice and the fourth series set in the world of Tortall I was not disappointed. The Lionesses daughter Aly continues her journey in the Copper Isles. In a world of espionage and intrigue Aly is a witty and intelligent fifteen year old girl who has always been shadowed by the deeds of her great parents. This book also has the the usual meddling Gods and some interesting plot twists. Like all the other Tamora Pierce books Tricksters Queen is well worth the read.

Who will be the Trickster's Queen?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trickster's Queen (Aliane) (Hardcover)
Picking up a few months on from Thrickster's Choice, we are immediately immersed in the life of a spy master as Aly takes control of the operation to put a new, sane queen on the throne. Aly is her usual laid back self, though we learn that she is not as omniscient as she would like to think after a series of costly mistakes. All the characters grow and develop, some not quite as much as the reader might like due to a large cast that limits the "page time" each character enjoys. A good end to the series with a well paced and executed battle, and enough references to previous series' characters to satisfy any "Tortallphile"
