A nonstandard Wallender Mystery
Having already read the 4th Wallender book, 'The Man Who Smiled' ('Silkeridderen' or 'The Silk Rider, in Norwegian translation), I now know where Wallender's depression came from. It's developed in the present book. Wallender has character the opposite that of a psychopath, and it's why he rarely carries a pistol. I though early on that this book is terribly boring. Half the time is spent in ...

The Lioness and Her Knight (The Squire's Tales)

Great book.
This book is actually the sequel to 'The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf', my favourite book in 'The Squire's Tales' series. It follows the adventures of Gaheris and Lynet's daughter, Luneta, as she leaves home for the first time and sets out into the big wide world. This book is in many ways very similar to its predecessor, most importantly in the quality and humourousness of its writing. Once ...

Terrific, fast paced action story
This is a taut, thrilling story, full of action and adventure. It propels the reader along at an ever-intensifying pace to an all-out, satisfying resolution. Well plotted and keenly envisioned. I heartily recommend it for all fans of Dragonlance.

These books are why reading is so wonderful
I am in college to become a librarian for young adults. This book, and all of Tamora's books are the first thing I recomend to anyone who even might enjoy fantasy fiction. This book, and all of Tamora's books, are entirely suitable for any age group. Not only is the content suitable for children but the story is written with crystal clarity in language that enable an 8 year old to ...

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. When ...

A Powerful, Moving Story of Elsa
My first introduction to the Born Free books when I was a child learning to read in school. And what a great introduction to reading it was. The story of Elsa and the Adamsons who saved her life as a cub along with her sisters and raised her brought me into a world of wanting to be there with all the animals and see Africa. This seemed to be treated more as a children's book in my time than an ...

Modern Classic for Young Adult Fantasy Readers
A tale of growing up and acceptance with a strong female lead who shows, without being ultra feminist, that girls can accomplish anything that boys can.

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. In ...

Great book!
Song of the Lioness has the entire series combined. The print is a bit small but that's my only issue with this book. If you like this series, buy this so you don't lose a book!

Amazing and Impressive work!
I wrote the following review for a group of teens in 2004; over the past four years I've re-read the series several times. If anything, I find the books even more enjoyable now! ~*~*~*~ What luck that my daughter chose this series to read! I often read the books she chooses before she does so that we can share in the joys of discussing them, with this being no exception. With this quartet ...

READ TITLE CAREFULLY!!!
Some of the reviews will tell you not to get this book because they were confused that it was new installment of the series. However, the description reads "Book 1 & 2"--therefore, you must read the description. As for the book itself, I found it to be a wonderful book. Full of mini-stories & mini-plots, it keeps you interested & your brain moving. For me, it was hard to put down until I was ...
