Trickster's Queen (Daughter of the Lioness #2) by Tamora Pierce

read by Trini Alvarado



After Trickster’s Choice, I had to find out what happened to Aly and the family she serves. She’s fully made the transition from slave to spymaster, and because of a little gift from the god who got her into this mess, her side has massively better communications than the other side. I found this plot to be a lot more predictable than the first book--there was one major surprise, which I can’t reveal without spoiling the book for you, but I found the way it was handled unconvincing.

Still a fun read. I feel like this pair of books was written with a screen adaptation in mind--the more ham-fisted plot devices felt designed to play well on the big screen with lots of CGI. Props to Trini Alvarado, who read both volumes perfectly.
