I must say, Tamora Pierce is one of my favorite authors of all time, but I agree. The song of the lioness books are too much. I understand that sheI think I enjoyed this review more than the actual book...Yeah, I definitely enjoyed this review more than the actual book.
This the first instalment in the Song of the Lioness quartet. There are few fantasy adventures I embark on that can be classified as fun and light-hearted yet sometimes that is exactly what I need. Pierce delivers the most charming of story-lines and all of her books, that I have so far read, are all formulated with solely the reader's enjoyment in mind. This book did feel suited to a younger audience, with the straight-forward narrative and the hasty instalment of the reader into the world, but
Review also @Scaredy Engines End of Line LibraryWhat a pleasant surprise! This book isnt very long and is obviously aimed at a younger audience but it didnt disappoint at all as we are introduced to a feisty heroine and an ending that promises greater things to come.Alanna the MC has to be one of my favourite heroines in childrens literature. But what I like most about her is the fact that shes flawed as well as strong because that just makes her character all the more realistic and believable.
OH MY GOD. SO. GOOD.I'm so mad I didn't start this series earlier!!! It's so similar to Harry Potter in the way that it's just a feel good book with interesting characters and the best friendships + MAGIC. ...anyway, on to book two! ---my longest and most terrible reading slump is FINALLY OVER.[of course, right when school's starting -.- but oh well]
Okay, deep breaths all around. Are you ready for another one of those retro reviews in which I regale you with nostalgic views of my childhood reading and rhapsodize on another heroine who contributed to making me who I am today? If you're not (and I totally would not blame you in the slightest--I know how I can go on about these things), you should probably just swish on by, cause Alanna is sort of the mother of them all when it comes to characters who own a little piece of my soul. She's right
This series appears to be a childhood favorite of many readers and I think if I were 10 years old I'd be a bigger fan of it as well. Alanna: The First Adventure is a good book that you would want your small daughter to read and learn from. It is both an entertaining mix of adventure and magic and it teaches all the right lessons of perseverance, patience, hard work, and standing up to adversity. Extra points for writing about periods.However, to me, an adult reader, this short novel had very
