It was written in the 80s and before YA books could get the lengths that the story needs and parts reflect that. 

However, it remains a firm favourite from my early teenage years and I return to it often as a comfort read.

This was another one of those books where the first half took forever (months) to read and the second half was finished in days. I'm hooked now though and definitely planning to read at least the rest of the books in the Alanna series.
