Book description
Tamora Pierce's Battle Magic doesn't just cast spells-it conjures a whirlwind of chaos, courage, and comedic timing that'll leave you wondering whether you're reading a fantasy epic or watching a particularly intense episode of magical Survivor. The third installment in The Circle Reforged series proves Pierce hasn't lost her touch for turning teenage mages into accidental world-savers, even if they'd rather be sipping tea than storming palaces.
Our trio-Briar, Rosethorn, and Evvy-stumble into political intrigue faster than a cat dropped in a room full of yarn. What starts as a fancy visit to the emperor's summer palace quickly spirals into a high-stakes game of magical cat-and-mouse, with the fate of an entire nation hanging in the balance. Pierce throws diplomacy out the window and replaces it with explosions, strategy, and a healthy dose of teenage rebellion. It's like Game of Thrones, but with more plant magic and significantly fewer betrayals (okay, maybe just slightly fewer).
The audiobook version really brings out the snark in Briar and the fierce determination in Rosethorn, making their banter feel less like dialogue and more like a verbal sparring match you never want to end. Evvy, the young shaman with a knack for seeing the spirit world, adds a layer of eerie wisdom that keeps everyone on their toes-and the listener hooked.
Sure, the emperor's plan to invade Gyongxe is as subtle as a fireball to the face, but Pierce doesn't aim for subtlety. She goes full throttle, delivering a story packed with battles, betrayal, and a magical system so lush you'll start checking your closet for hidden portals. And while the fate of the Living Circle religion dangles by a thread, Pierce keeps things light with enough humor and heart to make you forget you're essentially listening to a war story narrated by overachieving teenagers.
If you're into fantasy with a side of sass, Battle Magic hits the sweet spot between epic showdowns and laugh-out-loud moments. Just don't blame us when you start talking to houseplants, hoping they'll sprout battle tactics.
