Editorial Review:
"Let her prove herself worthy as a man."
Newly knighted, Alanna of Trebond seeks adventure in the vast desert of Tortall. Captured by fierce desert dwellers, she is forced to prove herself in a duel to the death -- either she will be killed or she will be inducted into the tribe. Although she triumphs, dire challenges lie ahead. As her mythic fate would have it, Alanna soon becomes the tribe's first female shaman -- despite the desert dwellers' grave fear of the foreign woman warrior. Alanna must fight to change the ancient tribal customs of the desert tribes -- for their sake and for the sake of all Tortall.
Alanna's journey continues...

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Just.... No
This series had potential, starting out good in the first two books, but this book is where all hope of a good story was destroyed.
First of all, I think in this series they could have been a little bit more creative with how people found out that she was a girl. Both times people found out because by some force of magic her clothes were ripped off. Please.

Rating: - Book three continues the exciting adventures of Alanna
Pierce maintains her momentum and excitement on her third installment. Alanna grows into a woman accepting more responsibility. Beware that the series does have this young woman sleeping with several different men throughout the course of her adventures so as long as you don't mind that then proceed. She handles this aspect with great delicacy. It is highly entertaining and a quick fun read.
Rating: - Tamora Pierce books
Great books! Almost as good as the Immortals and protector of the small quartets, but still pretty good.
Rating: - Loathing Beyond Words
I don't exactly know how it has happened over the years but Tamora Pierce is the one author I loathe...with a fiery passion. I've tried reading The Song of the Lioness and Protector of the Small series. It's been years since I've read them simply because I found them to be utter junk. I loved Alanna but the series just slid downhill from there. They are completely immoral.
I suppose this would be OK except that Tamora Pierce's books are targeted to teenagers. I know lots of teens are ... Read More
Rating:  - What can I say? Tamora Pierce has done it again!
Alanna is now a knight and wants to travel the world...see places she's only heard about or seen on maps. While she is traveling with her loyal friend, Coram she runs into a group of tribesman called the Bazhir. They bring her and Coram to their home, the tribe of the Bloody Hawk. They find it strange that she is as strong as a man and dresses like one too. The Bazhir challenge her to a duel to the death to prove herself.
