I picked up a bunch of older fantasy books from the thrift store this past week and this was in the pile. I recall reading it when I was younger and enjoying it much more than I did the second time around. It wasn't bad, but wasn't as amazing as I remembered either. Isn't that just like life?

I first read this book when I was a kid, devouring everything I could get my hands on. I’ve carted my battered copies with my from move to move but could never bring myself to go back out of fear it wouldn’t live up to my memory. But I finally dusted this book and the rest of the series off this summer and went back to it. The story was just as delightful as I recalled.
It has everything in it that spoke to me as a child and as an adult: woman disguising herself as a man to fight, female characters with strengths as well as weaknesses, bond between woman and horse, all with a strong dash of magic.
If you’re a fan of Tamora Pierce, see if you can get your hands on this series.

I love this book. I have reread it many times and it never gets old. I think Herbert's writing is exciting and fun. I'm sad that it's out of print, as well as the other books in the series.
While Gabriella is lost in the woods, her family and clan are murdered. She knows by who, and as the only survivor she sets out to revenge their death by taking on the identity of her brother, Gabriel.
