    Tamora is a very cool person; she knows martial arts, so her fight descriptions in her novels always ring true. Most of her books are suitable for preteens and young teens, although White Tiger is going to be more for older teens and adults. And try some of her books; adults can enjoy them just as much as her intended younger audiences. I love them!

    I can’t wait. I can’t wait. i can’t wait.

  3. Alan Coil Says:

    I will probably try the White Tiger series, as I have read the original White Tiger stories (it was just a couple years ago…).

    I just wish some of these places were closer to some of us who live in more remote regions.

  4. Dirk Deppey Says:

    Check out the cameltoe on Miss White Tiger! How cheesy…

    Tamora’s books were what got me into fantasy…it will be very interesting to see how her writing style translates into comics.
