Jemppu | 1735 comments Congrats ^^? I must confess I only just heard of the series for the first time this week, but it's great to see such excitement. Fingers crossed it turns out favorably 🤞

This was girl-me's greatest dream! I was going to be and/or dress up at Halloween as Daine and talk to animals and meet wizards and do magic!

Thrilled that maybe the children I am now old enough to help mentor might have that chance.

Sha | 112 comments I mean, I'm not a big fan of live action adaptations in general but this opens up the possibility of a wider audience for these books and also I am very fond of Tamora Pierce as a person so~

Jacqueline | 2428 comments I read it with my kids oh so many years ago. I was probably around 40 at the time. I’m 56 now. I still have to buy the eldest Tamora Pierce books when they come out. He’s 30. I’m really looking forwards to this.

Cheryl (cherylllr) Goodness. I've typed "Squee!" a coupla times in an review for an anticipated book, but capslock would give me such high expectations nothing could live up to them.

Travis Foster (travismfoster) | 1154 comments This is really, really exciting. I can't wait to see who they cast.

Best Halloween costume ever.

Stephanie (stefaniajoy) | 272 comments My sister sent this to me today and I freaked out!

My dream growing up was to play one of the characters in the nonexistent movie/TV series. (Since I couldn't actually move to Tortall.) My first instinct was to try and audition, then I remembered I'm too old now hahaha

But honestly I'm already terrified to watch it


message 14: by Melani (new)

Melani | 145 comments I'm excited. The Lioness Quartet was really important to teenage me, and I really hope this happens and does Tortall justice.

Lowell (schyzm) | 577 comments Anyone heard any more about this, or has 2020 derailed it into tv show development limbo?

Because.. yeah, I could use a return to Tortall!
