I loved this one too. It was a different dynamic because it is set in the desert away from Tortall but still just as good. She continues to go back and forth between her two loves George and Jon.

I will always feel better coming home to Tamora Pierce's characters. The growth Alanna takes in this book and the adventure of it. The way she takes on learning another culture but still bringing up the outcasts to show others they deserve equal respect. The quote that will stick with me is, "It's easy to change your no into a yes, but it is harder to change a yes into a no."
Also Alanna learning to trust herself and think through her decisions. Her character growth in accepting parts of her that used to scare her was amazing. Every time I read this series I re-establish my hope in my own faith in my own strength.

I think it is the weakest of the books plot wise, but it offers alot character wise. We watch as Alanna struggles with this new life as not just a knight but a female knight, and what that means for her in society as well as with her friends. You get to see more about the southern people, and see her further her relationships, as well as make some big defining decisions. I love Alanna and such a joy getting to come back to her story.

3.25 stars. Slightly better than the second book, but not by much. The last few chapters really came out of nowhere and felt very rushed, I wished they had been woven through the story earlier on. It was nice to spend a little time in George's POV, though.
