Rating: 2 Stars/DNFIt seems as if Tamora Pierce and I must part our ways. Quite simply put, I am above the age group to enjoy this. While I know many of my older friends have loved this, I seem to have lost interest in the life and struggles of a mere fifteen-year-old girl, which says everything abo...
I feel pretty much the same with this book as with Alanna. I loved this series when I read it as an 11-year-old or whenever but if I was reading it now for the first time... I'm not sure. This book gets super nostalgia points. I think this was the first book I read where a character has sex and it's...
Couldn't wait for my library to get their shit together so I went out to Barnes and Noble and picked up a copy. Totally worth it. I basically have the same things to say about book two as I did about book one, which makes sense as Pierce originally wrote the quartet as one volume and broke it up i...
I actually liked this quite a lot. Better than the first one! It feels like the second half of the first one, really--they should have just been one book.

However, I´m having troubles liking Alanna. And the story itself. Why? Because in one chapter she is 13-year-old, in t...
All I can wonder at is that it's taken me so long to start reading this author. I've had her collection in my possession for over a year and can't believe what a gem I've been keeping from myself.
Alanna of Trebond is still disguised as a boy, and has become the squire of her best friend, Prince Jonathan, who is one of the few that have discovered her true identity. At the beginning of the book, Alanna, receives a magical charm from the Mother goddess herself, and is told that she will need t...
Probably my all-time favourite Tamora Pierce book... although it's subject to change whenever I reread one of the others ;-) When writing this series, Tamora Pierce still stuck to the 'keep it simple' policy (something which she dropped in later books) making her earlier series both more accessible ...
Pierce does such a phenomenal job writing this series as Alanna grows up, her fears and challenges never loses my interest and attention. The audiobook is very well done as well, very satisfying to listen to.
