The Realms of the Gods The Immortals Book 4 Tamora Pierce Books

I had issues with this book. I think that a romantic relationship between a teenage girl and a much older man, who is supposed to be her teacher and mentor is highly inappropriate! Since the audience for Ms Pierce’s books is teenagers, I find it even more inappropriate. That relationship ruined what was otherwise a fun story for me and soured me somewhat on the entire series.

The Realms of the Gods The Immortals Book 4 Tamora Pierce Books Reviews

Daine and her mentor Numair travel to the divine realm by accident, and must find their way out. Danger looms everywhere in the richly imagined divine realm, and Daine must use all her resources to survive. It's a thrilling journey and the author's flair for the fantastic must be appreciated, however...

The main characters' relationship develop in a way that you may or may not find agreeable (I didn't). The message seems to be that it's okay as long as they love each other. But the merit of 'true love' is in doubt when the relationship is unequal, as is the case here. No matter how I look at it, Numair is taking advantage of his authority as Daine's mentor. The author handles the situation with class, but I still find it unacceptable.
This one has great action and nice character development. I am still mentally scolding the characters. I wish there were less kissing.
As with the rest of this series, the characters are fascinating. A young, strong female lead is also a bonus and watching her grow up through the series adds a great dimension. Dain's ability to shape change and speak with animals made me view the world we live in and share with other creatures in a new light.
This one has a different feel than the others as it's in the realm of gods instead of mortals. It's interesting to get the backstory. I could have done without the romantic twist, though; I'm all for a good romance, but it was just a little at odds with the rest of the series.
While this is not my favorite book in the series, I still give it 5 stars because it is a satisfying end to a great series. I think there are too many settings and pieces and it makes this novel drag in places, but overall it works. I enjoy the progression of Daine and Numairs relationship. If you enjoy Tamara Pierce, or just like strong women being the heroes of their own stories, read the Immortals Quartet and anything set in Tortall.
In this, the fourth book in the Immortals series, Daine and Numair journey into the realm of the immortals and the gods, seeking a way to keep the goddess of chaos from destroying their land. Diane, possessor of a wild magic that allows her to converse with and change into animals, once more embarks on a quest that seems impossible, but which is the only way to save those she loves and serves. Numair, her magic teacher and friend, accompanies her, using his Gift to help her find her unknown father and then the Dragons who have removed themselves from any interactions with humans.
In this intense conclusion to the series, we see Daine continuing to mature--as a user of Wild Magic, as a human, and as a woman. One of the qualities that I love in Pierce's books is the way that she doesn't let her characters fall into easy, dichotomous views of good and evil; while there are certainly evil villains populating these books, Daine discovers that she cannot just judge beings by their form or appearance. Beings can and do change, and good and wise folks must always look carefully.
Caveat this book can be read on its own, but the patient reader who will go back to the first novel and work her way through the series will experience a much deeper appreciation of this world. (And get to read four marvelous books, instead of just one!)
Probably my favorite book in the Immortals series by Tamora Pierce. Daine is an amazing heroine; in this book she learns about her origins (and finally meets the father her mother always hinted at but never revealed), she masters her ability to shape-shift into animal form, and she discovers the true feelings of the master mage, her mentor and friend Numair Salmalin (another favorite character of mine). She experiences the loss that comes with war, the high price that fighting for what you believe in can demand, and she emerges as a strong, intelligent, and always-believable heroine who is very human and relateable-- making hard choices with wisdom and care-- and admitting it when she makes mistakes, striving to right them instead of angsting or relying on others. Way better than most "young adult" novels written in recent years, with frankness and honesty that adults can easily appreciate. Get this series-- it's absolutely wonderful, books to read over and over again.
