Written in Pierce''s half-serious, half-lighthearted style, the Circle of Magic quartet tells the story of four orphaned
and rejected
children who are brought to Winding Circle Temple by the famous mage, Niklaren Goldeye.
Sandry, Daja, Tris and Briar each have something to learn about themselves at Winding Circle. Book 1 in the quartet is Sandry''s book. Despite her high status, Sandry is eager to make
friends with the other new children at Winding Circle, but that doesn''t mean that they''re ready to accept her advances.
Each of the four has strong, although well hidden, magic powers. These are the cause of endless trouble, but also lots of fun. It is their magic that finally brings the children together, with a bond giving them more power than anyone ever imagined.
"Sandry''s Book" is easy to read, but still draws you into her world into you almost feel you''ve really been there. The success of Pierce''s book seems to revolve around the easy reading and solid content.
There''s nearly as much to think about as in reading a longer, more serious work, but the book is simple to read and draws you in. I reccomend the book to any reader - my only criticism is it''s too short!
