Alanna becomes Alan in order to become a page and eventually a knight. Hiding her gender is difficult but not impossibe and there are hints that there is attention from the goddess on her future. An interesting beginning with lots of possibilities to the future to the series
I loved this book when I first read it as a ten or eleven year old. I wanted to fight with a sword and have purple eyes and save the day with my awesome gift. I'm glad I read this book at that age. If I didn't have such fantastic memories of it and my reactions at the time, I probably wouldn't be gi...
Song of the Lioness is a series of fantasy novels written for middle grade readers. I am clearly not the target audience, but I do read a great deal of young adult/middle grade fiction.

But somehow I have managed to miss all twenty million bajillion of Pierce's books. As it is now, I enjoyed this book, but the writing is very s...
4/5; 4 stars; A-I can't believe this is the first Tamora Pierce book I've read. It was an awesome 'sword and scorcery' fantasy story suitable for all ages. I Enjoyed the strong female character as well as the characterization of the various boys in the story. There is a lot of room for growth in...
What I loved about this book is pretty much that I read it when I was 12 with a group of my girlfriends. We read it huddle together as a group read and it was truly a magical memory from that time.
