>Tamora Pierce goes out of her way to make witty characters, but they are all witty in the same way. That isn't true in real life. Different people make different kinds of jokes, different kinds of quips. Hers all make the same.<
Hadn't thought about that before, but you're probably right.
On the issue of Briar's sleeping around - she did have several scenes wherein the girls tend to grumble about Briar's behavior - Tris warns the housekeeper about Briar, for example. But still, I see your point.
I liked it better than the Circle Opens books too, overall. Not sure if I like it better than a couple of the originals, though.
