On Mages of the Air, hosts Tracy and Caitie read through Tamora Pierce’s books, both the Tortall Universe and The Circle Universe, with commentary, comedy, and care. Life-long Tammy-fans, both hosts share about their own journeys to and through these books, as well as how Tammy has inspired them in the real world. With Tea-of-the-Week, Recommended Reading, and too much talk about our own animal friends, Mages of the Air has something for all fans; young, young-at-heart, long-term readers, and new converts are welcome here!
