I'm excited to begin on this Alanna journey because I feel left out of this fantasy classic. It has a lot of my favorite tropes like secret identity, badass female main character, found family, and more. As this is an introduction to Alanna's story, I was still hoping for a little faster paced story. Less training and more dramatics if you will.
That being said I'm a sucker for this "switching roles" storyline where she is in disguise with all the boys and training to be a knight. I want to learn more about her adventures, the prince, and the thief, George, so I will be continuing in the series!
