Very good book
i have recently discovered a very good. It is by Tamora Pierce and is called"Tricksters choice." it is two parts, the second part called:tricksters queen" the first book is about a girl named Aly. her father is the spymaster for her country and her mother is the kings champion, the first women knight in over a century. (she has her own series you know, but this one follows Aly, her daughter) anyways, Aly longs to become a spy, but her father will not allow it because he does not want that life for his little girl. Aly takes a ride on her skiff one day, but never comes back. kidnapped by pirates, she is taken to the copper isles, a chain of islands conquested at one point by the fierce and somewhat delusional Rittevon bloodline from the native dark skinned Raka queens. The raka have lived for years under their new tyranny. Aly is sold as a slave by the pirates, into a luarin(white skinned) noble house hold, when the local trickster god Kyprioth comes to her. he tells her that the oldest daughter of the nobles, half raka Sarai, is the chosen one, who will lead the copper isles out of their long set rule by the luarin and put raka queens back on the throne. he makes a bet: keep the Balitang family(the family she serves) alive for one summer, and Kyprioth would bring her home. Find out the rest for yourself and read the book! Filled with intricately woven spy plots and betrayal, it really is a book you cannot put down. And if you know my very selective preferences of fiction, you'll know that i really tell the truth when I say FIVE STARS!
