The speed of this series is truly breakneck and I remember thinking that as a child as well. Alanna ages so quickly, it feels like she's Suddenly An Adult here. This one also throws in a bunch of new culture and politics that I don't think we're previously based one, relying a lot on a one-to-one with real world western medieval culture that I'm not sure I've ever really liked in fantasy. I just wish this cool story had a little more room to breathe.

Listened to the audiobook and had a hard time paying attention. It wasn't good and I think I realized I don't like the characters, except maybe George. I just enjoyed the Wild Magic series so much more. I think I'll stop here and maybe just reread those books instead of continuing with Alanna.

3 ⭐️. A lot of this book felt like reminiscing. Alana speaks and thinks very young still while “taking lovers”. There was T the necessary character growth outside of her fighting and magic skill.

This series is seriously addictive. I'm looking forward to reading the last in this quartet soon. I loved everything, the romance, the adventure, the magic. Such an interesting tale.
