#138. Tortall And Other Lands by Tamora Pierce

Title:	Tortall and Other Lands
Author:	Tamora Pierce
Genre:	Short Stories/Fantasy
Synopsis:	These short stories based in the lands of Tamora Pierce’s fantasy world follow up on events in her novels, round out a picture of the world’s different cultures, explores the history of some characters and introduces us to new ones.
Verdict:	I quite liked finding out what happened after certain events and how certain characters got to be who they became. Some of the stories felt slightly underdeveloped but for the most part it was quite good. Pierce’s trademark strong female characters were well represented. There seemed a fair few poor male role-models this time around but violent or neglectful parents and the like aren’t scarce in our world so I should hardly expect Tamora Pierce to underrepresent them in hers.
