bickynates 's review for:
Squire
by Tamora Pierce
adventurous
hopeful
medium-paced
Loveable characters:
Yes
This might be my favorite book in this series. Raoul is one of my favorite characters, the Kel/Cleon love story, and one part at the end with Kel and Alanna just became one of my new favorite book quotes (page 379):
"You went so far beyond what I'd hoped, for the next girl page, squire, and knight. All those tournaments, and those girls in the stands, right down by the field, watching you hungrily"
"Oh my lady, no!" protested Kel, shocked.
" Yes". The King's Champion said firmly. "I had the magic, the hand of the Goddess on me. Everyone said I was a freak, a once-in-a-century type of person. No one needs to strive for what I did, because they couldn't reach it.
But you, bless you, you're real. Those girls watched you, and talked about your style in the saddle, and the things you did. they swore they'd take up archery, or riding, or Shang combat, because you had shown them it was alright. I was so proud."
