Top Ten Books to Read if You Like Tamora Pierce

1 - Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas

This one has a girl disguising herself as a boy for school (a la Alanna) as well as crazy awesome magic (a la Tris)

2 - The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley

Bad-ass female protagonist along with dragons and magic.

3 - Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling

Students learning magic, as well as three very different main characters (very Circle of Magic)

4 - Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor

This deals with non-human creatures and humans (and not-so-humans) getting mixed up in it.  So, sort of like the Immortals series.

5 - The Queen's Theif by Megan Whalen-Turner

The setting of this one is a lot like Tortall and Gen reminds me a bit of George.

6 - Sabriel by Garth Nix

Strong female protagonist who undergoes a journey to the underworld.  I got a little bit of an Immortals feel to this one, but with the underworld instead of the Realms of the Gods as well as a Trickster's Choice feel.

7 - Crown Duel / Court Duel by Sherwood Smith

It has the same Tortall feel that makes for an awesome setting of a fantasy book

8 - The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia Wrede

A bit of a Daine feel to these.  Minus the creepy relationship with Numair.

9 - Unicorn Chronicles by Bruce Coville

His magical world is very Tamora Pierce-esq.

10 - Take a Theif by Mercedes Lackey

This one has Briar written all over it.  I actually think that's the main reason why I loved this book so much, Skif is so much like Briar.
