Tempests and Slaughter by Tamora PierceMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Arram may only be 10 years old, yet he is training at the Imperial University of Carthak and may eventually become a very powerful mage. As he moves up in his classes he forges deep friendships with two other young students that show great promise. It doesn’t matter that one of them is the “leftover prince,” these three continue to perform beyond everyone’s expectations. As Ozorne slowly becomes less of a leftover and Arram starts feeling those feelings about girls, Arram begins to learn that loyalties can be stretched in different directions.
Tempests and Slaughter is the first book in The Numair Chronicles. Readers will find themselves easily relating to these young mages and hoping for success in their endeavors. Pierce has crafted a story with a lot of depth and backstory, yet the reader will not feel as if pages and pages were dedicated to world building. I was sad to have the story end and I will definitely be looking for the next book in the series.
