Review

Another great addition to Pierce's Tortall universe. Pierce has explored many avenues in her world and the adventures of Numair lead off from where previous books have ventured. Tempests and Slaughter serves as a prequel to some of the other stories in the world of Tortall and primarily takes places across the ocean in Carthak. Pierce has grown as a writer in the years since she first began writing in Tortall and this fast paced adventure is sure to pull readers in. It may be a difficult sell for some because there are eighteen other book in this universe, but Tempests and Slaughter can stand alone. Fans, both new and old, of this world will devour this new book.

Overall Book Score: good
