I've read the first Circle book and since I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as her other books I didn't read on.

Oh and I agree about the Liam thing. As far as I could tell she hadn't even broken up with George. Plus he was pretty patronising to her :annoyed2:

Is the new book Will of the Emperess part of any of the existing sets of books or is it a new story?

Will of the Emperess is the next part of the Circle of Magic/Circle Opens books. Its where Sandry, Daja, Tris, and Briar all come back together after traveling for a few years by themselves and their teachers (Circle Opens quartet).

And yeah the best way to find out if you like them or not is to read them. But I do thing the Circle of Magic books aren't as good as the Circle Opens books. But they are the second set... so you know.

Ok thanks, though I had been hoping it would be a new book about Alanna's daughter.

Maybe I should try reading the first one in Circle of Magic again but if it was like what I remember I don't really want to read all the way through them to get to the better ones.

I know what you mean, I loved the Alianne book, they were good.

And I did try reading the books once and wasn't interested, but when I went back a while later they seemed better... who knows why. I'm just weird like that I guess :)

Yes, I think that the Circle Opens is better than the Circle of Magic. :) However, the Circle of Magic are reasonably short... and I would never say that they were bad or anything. They just get better...

I just read "the Will of the Empress" and I thought it was really, really good! I didn't find the circle books all that un-put-downable, well, mainly the first ones, but this was really captivating! :) I really enjoyed it, though it made me sad, and a bit frustrated... anyone else read it yet?

Yeah I just finished it yesterday!! It was awesome! I loved it! I could hardly put it down, only homework and sleep prevented me from finishing it earlier...

Anyway, I know what you mean, some things were a little frustrated, and I was a little sad about how some of the characters turned out to be...

Sad that they weren't getting along? Or the whole ... Daja... business? (It didn't make me happy, but I thought that was actually handled really well... it was what Daja learnt about herself, and how it brought the four of them closer together that was important, not the relationship itself...)

No Daja's actually made me laugh, because of the way it was handled. But I kind of liked some of the courtiers... and well then they turned out to be jerks, well ok some them

But I do like the ending, that was creative!! And with the lumps and their hands! heh

Ah, yes... I get what you mean. And, yes, I loved the ending! I want to know what the lumps MEAN now!

Yeah I know!! It was kinda funny how that happened to Tris too, even though she was far away from the others...

I still find it hilarious about the whole them walking through the barrier and the mage being like :jawdrop:
