![]() ![]() So I was a bit disappointed by it, but I still enjoyed it, Tamora Pierce has a knack for storytelling. So why did I only rated this book four stars? Well, compared to the third one which I really loved I felt this one was slower, they take forever to decide to leave the Realm of the Gods and even much more longer to get out of it, and the final battle is only two chapters and in the first one Daine is just an observer…. ![]() I’m first going to talk about the fourth book and then about the series as a whole it will contain spoilers for the three previous books.įirst let’s take a look at this book and there is something I want to get off my chest WHERE WAS KITTEN AND THE OTHERS?

I have much more distance from the story. I didn’t give the book a careful read that first time. Yes, all we were talking about were pieces of the book and the book publicity. I still hear about my unforgivable betrayal. I was among the critics, and that fact rained Feldman’s and other people’s anger down on me.

Fast forward to our current political climate, it often feels like we are going backward. TV: The book takes place in a post 9/11 America and showcases how Muslim Americans were impacted daily. I wrote this story when my daughter was 4 months old and I want her to be able to see herself in the world in one day and be able to walk into the store and pick out a doll that looks like her without fear of repercussion. But I’d never just seen a normal Muslim kid on TV that wasn’t being singled out for being Muslim. ![]() I’ve seen terrorist-adjacent versions of myself on TV. I never really faced that question head on until that moment. I would search through Where’s Waldo books and would look for people that look like my me or my mom and I could never find myself anywhere. When it was my turn, I found myself floundering because I didn’t have an answer to the question, and I think that was the first time it had ever really occurred to me that I had never seen myself represented anywhere in media. Everyone went down the line and answered in beautiful and emotional ways. TM: I was speaking on a panel and was asked when I remembered seeing myself represented in media for the first time, and what that experience was like. TV: When was the first time you noticed the distinct lack of diversity within American media representation? ![]() |
