The first time I read the Tortall books I was around Daine's age and thought her romance with Numair was SO romantic. Adult me is... thoroughly less enthused. I still see where Daine's feelings would've come from but goddamn, Numair, what the hell.

I haven't read the Numair books yet. I haven't decided if I want to.

I overall prefer the Emelan books these days, though I didn't like Battle Magic (a tragedy because Briar and Rosethorn are great), but I think the series that stands the test of time the best is Kel's story in the Tortall universe.

I feel this way about a number of the romances in her work, they're sweet from the perspective of a kid and odd from the perspective of an adult. I still find some of the shipping dynamics interesting as an adult but the romantic angle is no longer there for me. I think they are wish fulfillment for the innocent childhood daydream of wanting to fall in love with a handsome older guy, and that Pierce herself has a personal thing for older guy/younger girl dynamics, lol. Obviously romantically, but platonically too... I got the impression that it's a character dynamic she enjoys exploring.

All the love for Lady Keladry of Mindelan. That's the quartet I started with and I have yet to regret it.

+1 on preferring Emelan overall, but the Kel books are my favorite Pierce work and heroine. I went to a signing for Will of the Empress and she also signed my incredibly tattered copy of Squire. It's a prized possession.
