" Not the best of Pierce. I read someone else's review who thought that when an author writes a script, it comes across differently when it's read as a book. I would have to agree with this. I only read this once - which is unusual for me (I normally read her new books at least twice, back to back, and then reread them again later). It didn't seem to work as well. Sorry, I'm not sure how to explain it, so I'm sure my review isn't very helpful. "

" I love Tamora Pierce, but this book was just disappointing. I couldn't get into the story with all the volcano spirits thing. Maybe you need to read a previous book to know the characters, but I thought they weren't very interesting. "

" Evvy is a whiner. It ruins the whole story to be unsympathetic to the narrator. I had high hopes for this book sadly. "

" Good read, compelling and keeps you right in it. "

" This book is an easy read that drew me in quickly even without reading any precursor books by Tamora Pierce. Highly recommended for all ages. "

" Full Cast Audio does an awesome job on this audiobook. Good story that fits in with the Circle of Magic stories. We get more about Evvy in this book. Nice fast paced adventure. "

" I enjoyed listening to this audiobook even though I hadn't read others in the series. "

" I love these Circle of Magic books. The only thing that would have made it better would have been to bring Briar onstage. "

" Weird cuz it was in first person, and i got a bit tired of all the rock descriptions, but never the less exciting, and a quick easy read. "

" I enjoyed this character and her experience working with stones & rocks. At times her travels in and with volcanic rocks did get a little tedious, but that didn't detract from the overall story. Evvy learns to be a builder and not a destroyer which was gratifying, but not surprising actually. "

" More YA fantasy to recommend to young readers. "

" Evy returns! This is a great follow-up to Street Magic, but can be read alone. "

" Pierce's books are always well-written and interesting, but I felt this one was much less gripping than her others have been. Both the plot and the character development could have been better. That being said, if I hadn't known the author, I probably would have been more impressed. "

" This is a great book to learn about volcanos. The melting stones are cute "

" Definitely not Pierce's best work, but a must for her die-hard fan. "

" This lacked any sort of suspense you can usually get in Pierce books. Perhaps I just find the character of Evvy less interesting than the "others" of the Circle, but I was just not all that intrigued by the story. "

" I really wanted to like this book... The end was the best part. Even though Evvy was rebellious and did exactly what she was told to not, she finally started thinking of others. And that is all I have to say on this one. "

" Way too much angst, and while I love to read about precocious teens, this goes way too far beyond. Read only if you're committed to the series. "

" Great sequel to the last one. I now want to re-read the entire set. "

" it is a really good book.although it is sometimes slow,it's coming along really well "

" it is a really good book.although it is sometimes slow,it's coming along really well "

" Not as enjoyable as the rest of the Circle of Magic, but not bad, either. Full Cast Audio was absolutely brilliant, as always =) "

" Full Cast Audio does an awesome job on this audiobook. Good story that fits in with the Circle of Magic stories. We get more about Evvy in this book. Nice fast paced adventure. "

" More YA fantasy to recommend to young readers. "

" Honestly kind of bored with this one. Kept waiting, and waiting, and waiting for something to happen. Not sure if anything ever did. "

" I like Tamora Pierce very much but this left me cold... maybe being a sequel? "

" My daughter gave me this to read and it was really good. I will have to find the first book. "

" Part of the Winding Circle series. Rosethorn is back, with a feisty, new, stone mage character, Evvy and an interesting character, Luvo, the heart of a mountain. Overcoming horrendous past, dealing with difficult characters, and maybe people aren't as bad as you think. "
