Meredith Ann Pierce

[Alia]

I just finished the first book of the The Firebringer Trilogy last night. It's an awesome story of unicorns and I recommend it to everyone. The first book is called Birth of the Firebringer by Meredith Ann Pierce. It's a short book for Y A and it read fairly quickly and easily. The writing is very smooth, poetic like, and I loved it!

I love the Darkangel books; they've been favorites of mine for many, many years. I highly recommend them. If you like her style, you'll almost certainly love this one.

The Woman Who Loved Reindeer is an excellent book -- it just didn't excite me personally. I should try reading it again, since it was a good book and I might be better able to appreciate it now.

I enjoyed The Treasure at the Heart of the Tanglewood -- more YA than Darkangel, but I'm a sucker for seasonal myths. The Firebringer didn't do anything for me, so I didn't read the others in that series. (Are you beginning to guess that I like Meredith Ann Pierce quite a bit?) Waters Luminous and Deep -- that's an anthology, but only about half of the stories struck a chord.

Where the Wild Geese Go is not a novel, it's a piece of short fiction published as a children's picture book. You've been consulting Fantasticfiction again, haven't you, Alia? (tsk, tsk) I've warned you about them.

I've read the Darkangel trilogy and the Firebringer trilogy. I loved the Darkangel trilogy, I wish she had continued it into a series.
