Title: excellent, but a couple concerns
Product review: My son and I have greatly enjoyed Tamora Pierce's books since the Alanna series, and eagerly looked forward to the release of this book. We loved it. However, we were disappointed by the introduction of a mechanically based enemy. The overall feel of these books is so genuinely medieval that this sort of robot creature took away from that trend of her past books; it felt too modern. As a school/community worker recommending books to children on a regular basis, I am also concerned with the robots having their origin in slaughtered young children's bodies that resemble dolls with bruised faces. The age of her readers are suggested at 9-12. This was gruesome and hints to more ahead.
