Publisher's summary

Tamora Pierce brings listeners another Tortall adventure!

Alianne is the teenage daughter of the famed Alanna, the first lady knight in Tortall. Young Aly follows in the quieter footsteps of her father, however, delighting in the art of spying. When she is captured and sold as a slave to an exiled royal family in the faraway Copper Islands, it is this skill that makes a difference in a world filled with political intrigue, murderous conspiracy, and warring gods.

This is the first of two books featuring Alianne.

Critic reviews

"With magic, spells, winged horses that are part human and part metal, crows that take human form, brutal fighting, treason, and attempted kidnapping, this fantasy has plenty to hold readers' attention." (School Library Journal)
"Trini Alvarado's pleasing voice adds youthful energy to Aly's escapades....[Her] performance is memorable." (AudioFile)
"A marvelous cast of characters, human, mage, and animal; a tangled web of political and racial tensions; and the promise of other Aly stories to come will engage Pierce's legions of fans and win over even more." (Booklist)

One of my Favorites

I can’t believe I’ve never written a review for Trickster’s Choice! It’s been a favorite of mine since the days I would check it out from the library (on cassette tape) and take it on road trips with my family.

This is one of my favorite comfort audiobooks and easily the series I’ve listened to more than any other. When I am sad and don’t want to be in my head, this is where I turn.

Pierce’s characters are solid and have held up well over time. Trini Alvarado is one of my favorite narrators and the genius of having her narrate the Alanna books and the Aly books is not lost on me.

This story is alive and close enough to touch. I can smell the food, and feel the stone of the keep. I am never bored in the Copper Isles with Aly, and you won’t be either.

Another unique adventure

A wonderfully creative story of triumph over adversity and coming of age. The protagonist was so well developed and moved through the challenges that she faced in believable way. And the story continues! Can’t wait to start it.

STOP! WAIT!

Ok. BEFORE you read these two books you MUST go read the LIONESS QUARTET. It is not nessesary, you could just jump in right here, BUT if you are anything like me a good read is a good read and the LIONESS QUARTET tells the stories that start this Authorverse, and really magnify the enjoyablity of this book. If you have read the LIONESS QUARTET then what are you waiting for, click add to cart and start downloading!
