Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce
3.0

I liked this. I like this genre of young fantasy that (I don't think) got the respect it deserved when it was originally published.

But the bullying was such a huge part of the first half that it was a bit boring. And the fact that she had to beat him up so much was a little disconcerting.

A few ornery minor issues, but overall I liked it. It was fun and a light read.
