I enjoyed the second half of the book - maybe the last two-thirds. But the beginning actually put me off, which surprised me. I know that challenging sexism is part of the core appeal of this series and the Song of the Lioness, but it was just so blatant that I was too angry to enjoy the story at first.
That might be my own fault, honestly. I just really dislike hypocrites.

This series is how I feel Alanna's could have gone if Tamora Pierce hadn't been constrained by page count and publishers. Check out my full review at Forever Young Adult.
