Our view

“Wolf-Speaker” continues Tamora Pierce’s “The Immortals” with a funny heroine, Daine, and a wolf pack some readers remember fondly. Others, coming to it as adults, find the story too straightforward, with obstacles Daine clears too easily and animals too ready to help. In this second of four books she comes to understand most of her magic, and her bond with animals is at the heart of it.
