Reread 2020

I did enjoy this one, though I'll admit, the journey through the Realms of the Gods did drag a little. Though I think this pandemic is really affecting how I feel about the books I'm reading. For some reason I wasn't as obsessed with Daine and Numair's relationship as I remember being when I reread this book last (and when I read it the very first time). I still love them together as a couple and I think they fit really well together, I just remember squealing a lot more in this book when I was little than I did on this reread. That's probably just me being weird though.

OH. MY. GOD. When I read Immortals the first time around, I remember loving it, but not "LOVING" it the same way I did Protector of the Small. Reading it again almost 10 years later, all I can say is WOW. SO GOOD. I literally don't remember the last time I've obsessed over a book this much! I absolutely loved Song of the Lioness, but there's just something different about Immortals. The writing, the plot, the character development...it's just so much more detailed and well thought out and so realistic! I remember after reading Tamora Pierce for the first time, I sat down with my friend (who had also read the books) and we talked about how Tamora Pierce's characters feel so real - almost like you could bump into them in the street. These characters made me hurt and cry inside, and they made me smile, and laugh and squeal. These emotions are what I cherish when it comes to reading. It's what makes reading an adventure.

I literally cannot wait for Numair's book to be released!!! I NEED MORE NUMAIR IN MY LIFE NOW!
