I think i'll start the page off, okay? Here goes-

My favourite quartet is Song of the Lioness. I'm not exactly sure why, but it might have something to do with the fact that the first Tamora Pierce book I read was Alanna the First Adventure. I loved Alanna and all of her friends, and I basically loved the storyline. I must say I really like Protector of the Small, but the Alanna books are still my favourite.

Well, let's see...my favourite quartet... I'd have to say a tie between Song of the Lioness and The Immortals. I LOVED those two quartets, omg, you have no idea how much I loved them!! I liked the whole knights in shining armor thing for the Alanna series and all the animals in the Daine series, they were great... I just really can't put into words how much I love those book. Protector of the Small is a good series, too, but I just like the other two better, I guess it's because I read the Alanna series first and then I LOVE animals, so naturally I'd like the Daine series. I don't see how anyone can not like any Tamora Pierce quartets, but these two above all the rest. Ü
My favorite character is... I really just can't decide. For the guys, I really liked George, Numair, Neal, Jon, and Raoul, but I also liked Gary, too, man, I just can't decide. Well, ya know how it is when you're just reading the books and then Gary or Raoul just do something really funny, and then it makes you really like them or something like that? Well... yeah. George and Numair are soooooo cool, though! One's a thief and the other is the most powerful mage in Tortall, who wouldn't like them? Neal's dry humor makes me laugh so hard, he sometimes reminds me of myself, cause I have a dry humor like him, at least most of the time... Jonathan was really nice except for in Woman who Rides like a Man, then he was a jerk, but the rest of the time, he's an awesome friend. Now, for the ladies... I just liked Alanna, Daine, and Kel. (Ok, well at least it's less than the guys...) Alanna's fiery temper just makes me laugh. Her sense of humor was always so funny, I had to stop reading her books at school cause I'd just start laughing in the middle of class... Daine is awesome cause she has a connection w/animals, I like to think I do, too, but I know I don't.... I wish I did, but I don't, sadly. Kel is very unique, sometimes she'll make me want to yell at her to do something when she's trying to be all Yamani and trying to hide all her feelings, but most of the time, she's like my temper, and I'm usually like yes, thank you for beating him up!! Lol, ok well I didn't mean for this to be so long, but I couldn't help it! I just love almost all of the Tortall characters!! Ü

I agree with Leah that SOTL is the best quartet. I think it is because I read it first, and, after a while of thinking the books were magnificent, I read the Immortals. By then I still thought SOTL was wonderful and I still liked the characters in those books better than the Immortals characters. Either way, I thing the Song of the Lioness Quartet is definitely the best!

My high school library actually got in three of the four of the 'Immortals' series (all but 'Emperor
Mage'). I fell in love, then noticed that there was a quartet that preceded it - the Alanna series. TOTALLY became obsessed and cheered when the PoTS series began. My fave? PoTS! (At least until the next books come out! :D)

I think that the Circle of Magic is my favorite quartet.  I like it because it's about 4 regualer kids that are all different from each other, but have a special power that brings them all together.  Plus, they're good books.  The first quartet I read was The Song of the Lioness.  As soon as I read them I had to read more of Tamora Pierce's books.

I feel Song of the Lioness is probably the best quartet, however,
my favorite is The Immortals. I love Daine's bond with nature. Also, Song of
the Lioness is more of your typical knight-in-shining-armor story with a
twist, while Daine has more of an original plot line.

My Favorite Quartet is Protecter of the Small. I like this one best because I
connect well with Keladry and also because I feel she had a much harder time
then Alanna at first. Everyone thought Alanna was a boy she didn't have
probation or have to work to make friends. Wild Magic was the first book I
read, then I read the Song of the Lioness Quartet which I loved.
