Where was this book when I was a preteen girl?!?! I'm in love with this series. It is wonderful and lovely. The main character manages to break through misconceptions and expectations while *also* being herself and not abandoning everything along the way. My *only* criticism would be that this character occasionally seems a bit too wise for her years (although that's also just one of her character traits, so I'm not too mad about it). I'm also really into the mixture of medieval and fantasy/magical elements. Knights and mages and OK on to the next book!
