watermelon_pepperoni 's review for:
Alanna: The First Adventure
by Tamora Pierce
Took me long enough to finish eh? I mean, a lot has happened this week, so...reading wasn't an option sometimes.
So, I feel the need to preface this by saying this book is YOUNG as HELL. It reads like a chapter book I would have read in 6th grade. I still enjoyed it, but...well, there just wasn't as much for me to latch onto because I'm much older. I also kind of hyped this book to hell in my head, so, yeah.
It was still pretty good for what it was. I would I have ADORED this as a kid, and I recommend it to young audiences. Alanna was a good heroine, and the plot is standard medieval fantasy based on ye olde England. It hits certain themes that I give points for, including SOME realities of being a girl surrounded by boys.
I'll finish the series for sure, because I am curious to see what Pierce leads the story.
