Tortall: A Spy's Guide by Timothy Liebe, Tamora Pierce, Julie Holderman
3.0
There are some really exciting key points explained in this book.
1) In Squire (at least the original hardback), despite the span of a squire has been defined as four years, Keladry ages 14, 16, and 17... which confused me for many, many years. Typo or an author losing track, I don't care. I'll take the information in this book as official: Kel was a squire for 3 years, "16" was printed for when she was 15, "17" for when she was 16, and "18" for when she was 17. She got her shield at 17, and Lady Knight's main plot concludes just before her actual 18th birthday.
Yes, this is a big deal to me, lol.
2) Owen marries Lord Wyldon's youngest daughter three yeas after Lady Knight. I just want to laugh and imagine what a short story on that would be like. I want Lord Wyldon's reaction. His and Owen's dynamic is one of my favorites.
Other than those exciting takeaways, I admit to skimming this book. I love how it's designed and fills in some minor gaps just for the heck of it, but I'm not keen on reading instructions and cookbook descriptions or letters.
