Alanna has shown that she has ample qualities to be a knight, but her achievements are making a certain smiling gentleman nervous. Luckily for him, tension is brewing between Tortall and its neighbouring country, and war happens to be a great way to quietly dispose of enemies. This book covers Alanna's 4 years as a squire, but it spends most of it focused on her at ages 16 and 17. As such, it rushes through years at warp speed, so much so that I have whiplash. The story tries to cover too muchReview and more at:https://edwardsghostengine.wordpress....While I found this second book to have more thrills than the first book, I did feel there were things lacking here but only a little bit.For starters I still think these books are way too short for what they are: high fantasy adventures. Theres no room for world building which is a shame because the world the author has created here has a lot of potential to be as intriguing and mysterious as Middle Earth. Here we get introduced to a
After a strong start to this series, this book is a slight step back. We continue to follow Alan/Alana as she gets ready to take the tests for her knighthood, and we continue with uncovering the plot kill the king and prince. Plus, Alana gets a talking cat courtesy of the goddess.You know, on top of the violet eyes, the sword she King Arthur'd out of the cellar, and the amulet, her healing abilities and now her magical cat, I'm starting to suspect that Alana just might be Special. At least she's
"Roger's suite of rooms was located very conveniently for Alanna's purposes."This entire book was damned convenient for her!!!I thought the first book was alright and picked this up because the entirety of tumblr was shitting themselves over the feminist shit in this book. Let me tell you, there was some shit in this. And were they feminist? Alanna doesn't want love but because the author deemed it must happen, she's aged up 6 years in only a few chapters. And the creeps trickle in....Alanna has
[SPOILERS AHEAD]"I don't want to fall in love. I just want to be a warrior maiden."HAHAHAH YEAH RIGHT,GREAT JOKE ALANNA Sooo...this book was basically like a sketch of Alanna's teenage years. In on chapter she's 13,in the next one she's 15; (view spoiler)[in one chapter she's all like: "I am powerful woman ready to take my place in this world" and in the next one she's like: "omfg Jon,I know you're sleeping around and stuff but I want to be the one you sleep with too!!!". (hide spoiler)]Alanna
Even though I didn't exactly fall in love with the first novel of this series, I just couldn't help myself from wanting to find out what would happen with Alanna. Would her secret be revealed? Would she fall in love? Would she finally face her arch nemesis, Roger?Well, you'll just have to read book 2 to find out, won't you? Unfortunately, I found book 2 to be plagued with many of the same issues that bothered me about book 1. For starters, it felt like many of the details or key scenes were
My goodness, my memory is atrocious. I thought that the ending of this book was supposed to be the ending of the final book in the quartet, so now I will be continuing on with the series going in totally blind!This was so enjoyable, I love these books so much. The nostalgia is real!I do think that they could have been fleshed out a little bit though. There is a bit of glossing over and jumping forward in time in big leaps, so things moved very fast in pace. I wish I had the chance to slow down
