Terrier
I, like many others love (!) Tamora Pierce books. I, like many others was also was afraid to read Tamora Pierce write in a journal style for the first time. But this book is amazing. Some characters are back, namely Faithful re-named Pounce. The story is lively and inspiring with no stop 'till the end. I loved the mystery quality slightly reminisent from the circle opens books. This is another ...

In the Hand of the Goddess (Song of the Lioness)228 reviews
Tamora Pierce

My favorite of the 'Song of the Lioness' quartet!
Alanna is still disguised as a boy in the palace and is now a Squire. And not just any squire...she's Prince Jonathon's squire! This book is probably (in my opinion) the best of 'Song of the Lioness' quartet. Her secret is known by only a few people; of course her twin brother Thom, George Cooper, Alanna's great friend and thief, and Prince Jonathon who's been Alanna's friend for years.

Reader...Then a Teacher
This review is more for the entire "Lioness Quartet" quadrilogy, rather than this final installment in the series.
I was introduced to this series as a young girl of 11 or 12. They remained my favorite books for over a decade. The Lioness Quartet combines both magical, imaginative story telling with a strong feminist message. Equality is a powerful underlying theme in this series.

Life Changing at 12
When I first picked up this book, I was the typical bookworm. I knew every corner of my middle school's library. Most often, I'd find myself in the mythology section or classic plays. However, one day, I took a fateful journey into the fantasy section.
I was 12 years old, timid and accepting of even the worst opinions of me.
When I read it, I was enlightened. A whole five foot one, (four foot ...

This book is a great ending to a great series and Tamora Pierce definetly did a splendid job on this book! It's definetly good enough to buy! I read and own all of Pierce's novels but after ...
