This was a great book! This book was about a girl named Evvy. Her, Rosethorn, and Myrrthtide go to battle island to see why plants and animals are dying. The book has a lot of action and magic. Like many of her books it teaches people a lesson. This book very discripitve so some scenes paint a picture in your head. ( )

Another of Pierce's books dealing with the mages of Winding Circle. Here Evvy is accompanying Rosethorn on a mission to the Battle Islands. There she finds that a volcano is about to be born that will devastate the island of Starns. When Evvy and Luvo try to help they only make things worse. Although compelling while I was reading the story, as I think back I'm less convinced by the resolution of the problem. Flame and Carnelian were amusing characters however and Evvy did grow as a person and in her understanding of her stone magic. Even Luvo learned a thing or two.

Probably better read after reading The Circle Opens quartet.

Briar's protege Evvy accompanies Rosethorn on a journey to discover why the plants are dying on a neighboring island. Turns out that the island, volcanic in origin, is building up to another blast. Evvy looks for a way to stop or rechannel it, learning at the same time the importance of not being a destroyer.

An okay read, but one of the weakest in the series. This started life as an audiobook, so people who like audiobooks might prefer that version. ( )

This was a good story and a fun read. My only complaint is that the story was a little predictable. The characters were great as they always are in Tamora Pierce. I imagine we will eventually get the end end to this story. ( )

I hadn't read the Circle of Magic series, but was able to follow the story. Evvy is a tough, but likeable character with amazing powers. She travels to Battle Islands with her mentor Rosethorn to discover why all the plants are dying. She comes into her power with the help of Luvo, and helps save an island from a volcano.Grades 8 and up ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 193418005X, Audio CD)

An audiobook first! New York Times bestselling author Tamora Pierce has written the new novel in her popular Circle of Magic universe to go directly to audio--preceding the print version by at least a year.
 
Residents on one of the islands south of Emelan have sent a call for help to Winding Circle temple: Their plants and trees and the animals that live around them are mysteriously dying. From Winding Circle come two familiar figures: prickly green mage Rosethorn, whose plant magic will help her decipher what's ailing the plant life, and Briar's former student, the stone mage Evvy. With them comes the eager, nervous Dedicate Initiate Myrrhflower and Luvo, a being best described as a walking, intelligent rock. All are pulled into the island's mystery when Evvy is caught up by the wild spirits loose in an immense bubble of molten rock. Can they evacuate the island in time--or will they try to shift a volcano?
