However, her ability to persevere through difficult situations is admirable and you continue to see her grow into the respect of her power. She suffers a huge loss that you find out later in the book and experiences more than an average teen would. I enjoy a simple read from time to time so my mind doesn’t have to work so hard it allows me to fall into the story even more.ĭAINE: Daine is a 13-year-old girl who discovers she possesses something called “wild magic,” which allows her to connect with animals and immortal creatures in a way others cannot. Only what is necessary is included and the descriptions are both realistic and easy to follow. I never found myself once bored with the story because it was always moving. There were a few times her worries were juvenile, but overall Daine is a great protagonist, constantly looking to become a stronger and better, emotional enough that she’s not a stone, but logical enough to understand what needs to be done. The plot is well-developed and even though I’m 11 years older than the main character, I still found her enjoyable to read about. I love this book because it has magic, mystical creatures, and amazing characters. I remembered the gist of the story and a few of my favorite characters, but I totally forgot the plot, which is exciting because I get to relive one of my favorite books for a second time, and that doesn’t happen very often. Mainly, I bought the series because a new edition with the amazing cover pictured above was released and I had to have it.

I remember loving it, but 12 years is a long time and whole different life stage.

I first read it in middle school and for the first time, 12 years later, I started to reread it. It was the series that actually got me hooked on fantasy as a genre. The Immortals Series has been one of my absolute favorites since I’ve started reading fantasy novels.

Daine, though, will have to learn to trust humans before she can come to terms with her powers, her past, and herself. Horses and other animals not only obey, but listen to her words. Soon it becomes clear that Daine’s talent, as much as she struggles to hide it, is downright magical.

Summary: Young Daine’s knack with horses gets her a job helping the royal horsemistress drive a herd of ponies to Tortall.
