Anywho ever read any Tamora Pierece books? She's a fantasy writer and personally her books are quite interesting.
The series which I am currently interested in are:
"The Song of the Lioness Quartet"
"The Immortals Quartet"
And two sequel books - "Trickster's Choice" and "Trickster's Queen".
All of these books are related in a way, they're based in the same world and such.
She's currently my favourite author, there were adult versions of her first series - The Song of the Lioness Quartet, but they made them into versions for kids, but anywho i'd rather read teh adult version maybe o_o I hate the coverart that we get over here, it's pretty crap compared to the original.
Anyway, any other fans out there?

Well I don't know much about adult versions and if they're even around anymore but I think they're like junior adult type books and they're fantasy books.
It's different things. Like Song of the Lioness is about a girl named Alanna wanting to become a female knight, she's a noble also and the first ever female knights in several centuries or something O_o She's grows up in them of course and stuff.And she is in other series related to the same world.
And The Immortals Quartet is about a young girl named Daine who is a wildmage and doesn't know it. Her powers mainly concern with nature, etc. Wildmages were thought to not exist. Her home was destroyed by bandits and she's a runaway. She ends up in Tortall and works for teh ppl, a person helping her with her magic, etc. And Trickster's Choice is about Alanna's daughter who is much like her father, she is favoured by the Raka God - Kypiroth. Making a wager with her to do something O_o and 2nd one is somewhat related, haven't read it. Finished Trickster's Choice yesterday.
