Review

The Fire in the Forging is the third title in the excellent Circle of Magic quartet and brings together Sandry, Daja, Tris and Briar--four very different characters from very different backgrounds who are joined together by an amazing magical power--in a story which fairly leaps off the page and into the imagination.

The Winding Circle mages where supposed to help drought-stricken Gold Ridge, but something seems to have gone wrong and the situation is getting worse rather than better. As things begin to spin out of control, our four heroes--with their magics utterly tangled and entwined--only add to the valley's problems, and they must learn how to harness their powers by separating them and confirming them. But this very act may destroy Daja's ability to manipulate fire, and therefore the only chance of saving Gold Ridge.

Tamora Pierce here weaves a wonderful tale of mystery and intrigue, filled with fantastical powers and vivid, well-rounded characters who each have their own definite strengths and weaknesses but who, together, learn to harness not only their mystical talents but their more earthly traits in order to work together.

Anyone who enjoys a good fantasy novel will love The Fire in The Forging--a book which can be enjoyed either as a stand alone story, or as part of the stunning quartet. (Age 10 and over) -- Susan Harrison
