I think of the four in the Circle of Magic quartet, this novel definitely hit me the hardest of the lot - but in the best way.In this novel, a sudden epidemic of the "blue pox" is discovered when Briar and Rosethorn go to assist with what is essentially a "free health clinic" in the Mire (slums), and Briar finds that one of his friends has come down with a mysterious illness. After informing Rosethorn of this, they do their best to keep the illness contained before it can turn into an epidemicI forgot how good this is. It is. Really. Particularly the parts where they're all working in Crane's workroom. The idea that you still need to research magic, and that diseases have to be distilled down to keys which then can be combined multiple ways for a cure - it's interesting and smart and cool to read about.
This is the last book in this quartet and it's suppoded to feel like the end (although she did end up writing more about them later). This last book deals with Briar and a magical plaugue. I think one of the main themes in this is finaly opening up to people after being hurt for so long, and how to someone jaded that might seem like a stupid thing to do but it's actually nessecary. So I guess this book is about growing up (of course) and about choosing who you want to be as an adult. I'm not as
I feel like I really got to know Rosethorn in this book. I've been her fan since 75% through book 1, but I loved the interactions she had with the kids and seeing more of her magic in a real life situation so to speak. The funniest part of this book was when Crane tells the kids their masters are great mages and their reaction is I think the kids have definitely grown a lot since book 1, even if they are still immature at times. I mean they're like 14 max at this point. I liked that Briar picked
An old favorite. This one makes me cry.
Fourth in the Circle of Magic fantasy series for young middle-grade readers and revolving around four very supportive friends. It's also fourth in the overall Emelan series.Visit KD Did It Takes on Books for a chronological listing of the books in the Circle of Magic series.My TakeIt's a fun combination of magic, science, and medicine. Pierce has blended this so well, that it feels perfectly normal.I like how Pierce uses the concept of birthdays to provide this back history about Briar, the
So, a quick applause for me finally reading this whole series? Thanks I'm proud too.Anyway as you can see from the rating, I think this book was my favorite of the series (although that may just come from the sappiness of that ending. I definitely got emotional over them looking back of their year together of becoming mages and a family. But the whole book was very good!)First of all, Briar's love and admiration for Rosethorn, come on. It's the cutest thing, he has so much respect for her and
