His own sapphire-blue eyes widened. The rain was falling now in fat drops. Nevertheless, she is determined to go on and beat Roger so that he cannot kill the people she loves. Rating details. Startled, she nearly dropped it. He would have killed you, but you didn't kill him. When she tumbled into her bedroll at last, the kitten was already inside. I lost my bus stop because I was so much into the last battle that I didn't realize I was way beyond my stop. He looked Faithful over as Alanna tried to work a large lump out of her throat. Just no. I've read more bad ones recently, and still like this one. 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. You are the only one other than myself I trust to go. Details if other :. That's just so real to me. Wouldn't it have been more exciting if he seemed to be a good guy and then surprised by everyone by turning out not to be a good guy after all? These include forcing a kiss on her when she can't resist him and drugging her because she needs to rest. Sometimes even now his eyes went dark and blank, and she knew he was remembering the Ordeal. For spoiler purposes I won't say which boy ends up putting the moves on her while she's in the dress, but for a minute it's kind of icky, because he's like, "You're fighting what has to be" and "Surely you've realized all along this had to happen" and I was thinking oh god, Tamora, please don't let our protagonist's first time happen after some boy emotionally coerces her into sex, but Alanna sticks to her guns and walks away. When it was burning well, she gathered large branches that were a little wet, putting them beside the fire to dry. Ultimately, I think that this series does have its merits, but at the end of the day, I believe it is much better suited for enjoyment by its intended audience: older children and young adults. She shook her head in disgust and gathered the reins in still-trembling hands. I really enjoyed Alanna's deepening relationships with both George and Jon. But this felt more like filler, and I think it resolved the assassination plot much too neatly and tidily. Alanna will never get distracted by love, but then someone kisses her and she hops I'm pretty sure "Tamora Pierce" is just the pen name of a precocious child, because this series reads like it was written by and for year-old girls. By Tamora Pierce. You have been given a hard road to walk. In the first book, we're introduced to Alanna, who disguises herself as a boy to fulfill her dream of becoming a knight. About The Author. Alanna shook her head. Lily This answer contains spoilers… view spoiler [Yes, there is some romance involved between Prince Johnathan and George wanting the attention of Alanna.

In the Hand of the Goddess Writer The first two, I thought happened in book one, the third in book three. I was even more disappointed with the continuing villain who is supposedly the most powerful sorcerer around. Coram had taught her all this when she was a child at Trebond, planning to be a warrior maiden when she grew up. Then the romance. Searching the darkness with wide violet eyes, Alanna loosened her sword, Lightning. Alanna withstands the Ordeal of Knighthood and becomes a knight. Alanna is badass and I love her. Re-read January I think this might be my least favorite Alanna, at least on this read. Jonathan had been a boy, dying of the Sweating Sickness. Something hit the back of her gloved hand with a wet smack—a huge, hairy wood-spider. Remembering how delightfully full of wish fulfillment the first book was, I thought to myself, "Oh, she gets a cat in this one. Although she has very little sense of self and almost no discernable personality, she has a strong sense of right and duty and this is how she comes to all her decisions. Protector of the Small. Would she fall in love? But, admittedly, I've evolved beyond my 13 year old definitions of feminism in the last 15 years since I originally read this book. Alas, Alanna fails to capture my attention and although this novel is written impeccably with thoughtful musings and a solid plot line, I'd only recommend it to younger readers or readers who enjoy intelligent literature for younger YA. Staggering over to Alanna, the tiny animal ordered her to pick him up. Raoul and Jonathan played backgammon, while Alex—the fifth member of their circle and the only one not secretly friends with George—watched. For a moment Alanna sat and shook, huddled into her cloak.

It does not escape Alanna's notice that his eyes are as purple as her own; she also finds out that Faithful can talk to her, although to others it sounds as if he is meowing. Jonathan is super jealous and demanding and makes her do stuff she doesn't want to do. I was looking at the cover of my library copy of this book before I started it, and saw that on my edition, Alanna is pictured with a black cat on her shoulder. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Thank you! The list of authors can be seen in the page history. This was definitely more enjoyable for me than book 1! And all the inconsistencies throughout the book are wrapped up tidily at the end: everyone was acting like an imbecile because there was a spell cast over them all, though there were moments of lucidity when one character or another would have suspicions. In the Hand of the Goddess Reviews I meant no disrespect. Original Title. Alanna, disguised as a boy, becomes a squire to none other than the heir to the throne. There are references later to Roger's spell, but - I mean - how long has he had them in that mesh spellbag thing? The Goddess held out her hand. Trivia About In the Hand of th Gary and Raoul, with the afternoon off, had given their squires Sacherell and Douglass free time as well. It drained every healer who tried to cure it. The mare fed on grass under the tree as Alanna gathered dry sticks, branches, and leaves. When she could see, a tall hooded stranger was standing beside her fire! All that being said, it's still my favourite. At last she made the safest answer she could. Well, you'll just have to read book 2 to find out, won't you? Additionally, the second wave feminism vibes that were previously somewhat toned, go rampant here and the causal sex as well as the sexual emancipation is doubly jarring when compared with the middle-grade innocence of the last book. No matter what she did, she was going to have to spend the night out-of-doors. What makes a female a female? This is not great, and even worse, the girl view spoiler [turns out to be a spy for Duke Roger. A hill rose sharply to the left of the road. More books from this author: Tamora Pierce. First there's the potential for a war, then all of a sudden it's a year later and they're at war, then it's another year or two and Alanna's facing her Ordeal. Although she has very little sense of self and almost no discernable personality, she has a strong sense of right and duty and this is how she comes to all her decisions. It felt more like several subplots strung together between the bindings of a book. I've read several of Tamora Pierce's books, but had not read the Song of the Lioness quartet and thought it time I start. Alanna yelled and threw the thing off her, startling Moonlight. How does it keep running? Works by Tamora Pierce. Things don't happen naturally, they just occur because the author wants them to. It was MEH. There's a lot more background I want. These books came with such high reviews, and I was really excited to start reading it. Other bothersome things: The Duke Roger situation. These are the expectations I had before reading the boook. It was light, pleasant, and fun so I was eager to read this second book.
