Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce

5.0

Re-read of a childhood favorite. Absolutely loved it!!! And I totally squealed when George showed up-- my first fictional crush.

I do see some faults now that I wouldn't have noticed when I was younger-- super quick pacing, Alanna being OP at everything through hard work and always knowing who the enemies are, etc., but it really isn't that big of a deal when considering the audience. Most pre-teens would get bored reading a huge tome which this could have been since it encompasses 4 years of Alanna's life.

I am very excited to continue reading the rest of the series-- yet very anxious as well. Hoping for the best!
