there is lesbian content in this book. As reader who feels that is controversial and not a "young adult" appropriate reading material I am not impressed with this book and that there wasn't some sort of warning label attached. I am disappointed that the author went that direction and didn't keep her book young adult friendly. This should be in the Adult section. I have always loved Tamora's books. She has an amazing imagination and she is a gifted writer. So this was a disappointement to me.

Will of the Empress is a good start to the new Circle series. Like all Tamara Pierce novels it is well written with fun and quirky characters who know what they want and go get it. As an adult reader the circle series seem a little younger in tone then some of Pierces other series, but they are all still worth the read. If you are new to Pierce I would not start here as you are missing a lot of back story, but when you finally get to reading this one you'll like it a lot.

I have been a fan of Ms. Pierce since the beginning, but this book was a disappointment for me. Several of my favorite characters are annoying and whiny, and their **constant** arguments were boring and predictable. There are so many side plots going on that the story lacks direction and reading it feels like wading through sand. I agree with the earlier reviewer who said that this book lacks suspense and excitement - Everything that happens is so drawn out and over explained that it made me want to skip pages. I would have ignored all of this (simply out of love of her previous work) but by the end I felt like I was at a lecture on the author's pet political causes and I just gave up. I admit that I returned the book to the library without bothering to read the last 100 or so pages. I have decided that this book is just the result of an off year for Pierce and I look forward to a return to her previous excellence

I was utterly amazed and very disapointed to see that some people rated this a one, two or three stars when the best was five. Someone said that there was inappropriate content in this book but I have to disagree. People have also been complaining about how one of the characters is a lesbian. Infact 354 people tagged this 'lesbian'! That is not even what the book is mainly about. Infact it's not a big part in the story! There is absulutely no problem with being lesbian! And besides your opinion is different than others! It also has nothing to do with how Pierce writes and shouldn't affect how amazingly great this novel is. So you'll be doing yourself a favor if you try out this book.
Sandrrilene fa Toren is Duke Vedris's daughter and happens to be the Empress of Namorn's cousin. The Empress has been wanted to have Sandry come for years and finally she agrees. Sandry brings her old friends that she hasn't seen now for years; Briar, the plant mage; Tris, the very powerful weather mage and Daja, the blacksmith mage. Sandry also has magic, weaving. Her and the other three are the youngest mages around and have all already had students. The four are fighting now but Sandrilene still agrees to take them with.
When Sandry gets to Namorn she knows that the Empress has planned something big for Sandry...and it isn't a good thing. And as they all say,
"The will of the Empress is always done."
Watch out Sandry! I think you'll need your friends help on this one!
