In the years since Lioness Rampant, Thayet created a new branch of the army which allows women to fight. She’s a thirteen year old bastard orphan, making her way to Tortall with Onua – who buys horses for the Queens Riders. Wild Magic begins with Daine, our new protagonist. Content warnings for character death and temporary insanity. Spoilers for Wild Magic and all four books in The Song of the Lioness Quartet. Whatever the cause Wild Magic marks a new beginning, for both the readers and the characters within. Partly because of the choice of characters, and partly time wearing it’s inevitable journey forward. Pierce has grown immeasurably in the four years since the conclusion of her first quartet. It’s also the series that I started reading Pierce’s work with, so I am indescribably fond. We meet new characters, become reacquainted with old ones, and see them face new struggles. It takes place several years after the end of Lioness Rampant and carries the readers further into the world of Tortall. First published in 1992, Tamora Pierce’s Wild Magic starts a new series.
