I really liked this! This series, Circle of Magic, centers on four young people who are just discovering the powerful magic they were born with. All four are troublemakers in one way or another, misfits who haven't found someplace they really feel comfortable. They are brought together at Winding Circle, where they begin to learn to explore and control their talents -- and how to trust people, as well.What I really admired, beyond Pierce's excellent characters, was how carefully she has created
Like so many readers, I adored Tamora Pierce's Alanna books. Strangely, I've never been able to get into her other series, of which there are many that are beloved by readers everywhere.

SANDRY'S BOOK isn't just a story about young thread-mage-in-training Sandrilene fa Toren. It's about her as well as her foster siblings - Daja (metals), Briar (plants), and Tris (weather) - as they come to the Winding Circle Temple to learn how to use their unique powers.

So nice. Really excited to read the trouble/adventure the kids get into in the next book.
