I love this book
Would you listen to Battle Magic again? Why?
Yes - because I found the writing brilliant and so engaging that I just have to hear it again
What was one of the most memorable moments of Battle Magic?
When Evvey found her cats after the torture - I don't want to ruin it for others so that's all I'm going to say about it.
Which character – as performed by Nancy Wu – was your favourite?
Evvey. I think that the character development- the personality that is emerging- is going to be amazing.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Their lifes where not easy before .Briar - a thief living on the streets until he got caught once to often. Evvey a run away slave who was struggling to get enough food for herself and her 7 cats - but little did they know it was going to get even harder.
Any additional comments?
I will get the rest of this series. This feels like a more grownup type of story - Tamara's books have never been all roses and good times but this seems to have some subjects that stand out . I always thought it would be fun seeing her interact with the other girls in Briars life too.

difficult but worth it
CN: war, dictatorship, torture, death, animal death, a lot of trauma,
I think I could only stand going in to this book knowing everyone survives, albeit with major PTSD, and knowing what the worst bits were going to be from the previous two books. I've seen people complain about that lessening the impact but I'm greatful. Even then it isn't an easy book. But it's still very good. I love seeing rosethorn being vulnerable and more nuanced rather than how her pupils see her (as very competent most of the time)
