I'm going to make a statement which I probably will contradict in the future because I'll forget and which likely contradicts something I've previously said and forgotten. Keladry of Mindelan is my favorite Tamora Pierce heroine. I thought for a long time while reading this book about that statement, and how true it was, and Lady Knight decided that it was accurate. I love them all, of course, but with most of them there is an aspect I just can't sympathize with. Mostly Sandry, Tris, Daja, Ala I'm going to make a statement which I probably will contradict in the future because I'll forget and which likely contradicts something I've previously said and forgotten. Pierce does a really good job of writing plausible magic, but as a result it's such an integral part of her characters' lives that it is difficult for me to empathize. The underlying themes are just fine, but the tangible day-to-day stuff of their lives is inherently fantastic just Lady Knight of who they are. Kel is significant to me for the same reason she's significant to other Tortallan girls: Lady Alanna proved that women could be Lady Knight, but she had magic to help her; Kel proves Lady Knight anyone, so long as they have the determination, can win their shield. Because she has no magic to help her along, a lot of her troubles are similar to those faced by students in the Lady Knight world - challenging classes, unfriendly classmates, strict teachers, conflict of ideas. This is a school story in a way that few people write them anymore, where the school part is linked to the plot and not just background. It's also a good way Lady Knight shore up Lady Knight, because whenever Pierce shows a fragment of Lady Knight class she's telling us something about Tortall Lady Knight well Lady Knight creating a sense of realism to the education her characters are undergoing. But that's not the only thing Lady Knight makes Lady Knight my favorite. After all, the school setting was only a part of the story for the first two books; though was still education-centric in a Lady Knight, Lady Knight is far from it. Without a doubt, it is her strength. You will be hard-pressed to Lady Knight of a heroine in recent YA who is as strong as this girl. There are some good ones out there, though most of the barrel seems to be bad apples, but Kel trumps Lady Knight all. Her strength is not just physical or even mental, but in her Lady Knight. She has an absolutely stunning sense of duty and justice that just blows me away every time. She has integrity. And she is also honest with herself: even though she believes in abstract concepts like duty and justice, and fights for them, she doesn't glorify the act of fighting nor pretend like her decisions have Lady Knight consequences. He will be on us soon. When he comes, we will fight not for some glorious cause, but to survive. I wouldn't dream of spoiling it, but let me just remind you that, as we saw in the finale Lady Knight Page, Kel will risk anything for people under her protection. Speaking of the people under her protection, the side characters in this book are just fantastic. Even the ones who get just a sentence or two feel like real people. Also, it's nice that only two characters well, and one who's off-screen the whole time are Lady Knight evil; the rest, even the unpleasant ones, are in some way likeable eventually. Also, they are badass. She thought the battle flags and shields take n from those Scanrans who had attacked her people that summer gave the walls a nice, homey touch. This book makes me really, really want more Tortall Lady Knight - not just Lady Knight Daughter of the Lioness duet, but more after that. There is in particular one little girl who had better Lady Knight up again, else she'll seem like she was just tossed in to give the quartet its name and that's sort of sloppy. Pierce is not very sloppy, so I'm sure it will be dealt with. There is one other thing Lady Knight is rather tangential that I wanted to remember to mention. I really, really like the way magic is handled in this quartet, and in this book in particular, since Tortall is at war. It is a limited resource, after all, and that's made clear here. Those who have scads Lady Knight power particularly Numair and Daine Lady Knight treated with a nice combination of respect and fear, which I really like. The ordinary Lady Knight understand how important they are to the war effort, of course, but that doesn't mean it's comfortable to be around someone who can summon boulders from ten miles away! If Lady Knight enjoyed the rest of the quartet, you're pretty much guaranteed to like this one. Also, if you're tired of heroines whose happily ever after Lady Knight only of ending up with the right guy, check these books out - it's not too much of a spoiler to say that Kel winds up contentedly unattached. No delicate waif, our Kel! View all 3 comments. Nov 06, Catie rated it really liked it Shelves: yagirls-with-swords.

I'll never be as selfless or stoic as Kel, as willing to stubbornly pursue injustice and stand up for those who can't—but I wish I was. It might be a problem with the novel that Kel has very few Lady Knight flaws: while Alanna has a temper and Daine is shy and scarred, Kel is hampered only by her gender and the inflexible standards of the men in power. But I 't really care if this is bad Lady Knight or poor characterization, because Lady Knight important about Lady Knight is that all of her achievements are driven through pure, sweaty, hard work. Alanna had the Goddess's hand on her; Daine had wild magic and a divine lineage. CT Lady Knights Softball -

This book is Kel's first appearance as a Knight of the Realm. War with the neighboring country of Scanra is declared at last, and Kel finds herself in charge of a refugee camp. Her district commander, Wyldon, has chosen not to place her in control of a border post or a portion of the army like the other knights, so she's certain that he wishes to keep her—who, as a woman, he views as inferior in combat to males—out of fighting. However, it is revealed that she was chosen for her post because she is the only knight Wyldon knows who wouldn't discriminate against those not of noble blood. Kel soon comes Lady Knight realize that these refugees, torn from their homes, robbed of their wealth and self-respect, are her responsibility. She must feed them, house them, and keep them safe from harm far too close to the Lady Knight border. She is able to be a hero, even outside Lady Knight the battlefield.

While Kel struggles Lady Knight her responsibilities and the urge simply to abandon the camp and find a Lady Knight fight, another obligation hangs over her. Before the war began, she was given a task by the Chamber of the Ordeal: to find and destroy the mage whose necromancy creates the giant, swift-moving, deadly metallic machines from the souls of children, known to the Tortallans as "killing devices. However, as the summer wears on and Lady Knight war intensifies, events move to put that perverted mage and his conscienceless war-leader in Kel's path, and at last her resolve is tested, and she and all of Tortall find out if she is truly worthy of her shield. After Lady Knight of hard Lady Knight with the refugees, Kel feels that they can sufficiently take care of the camp while she is gone for several days to deliver a requested oral report to Lord Wyldon. However, when Tobe is brought into the fort, tired from a long trek from Kel's refugee camp, she knows that something is wrong. The Scanrans have captured her people, and Kel believes that the children Lady Knight be used to create the horrible metal killing devices terrorizing Tortall. Worse, Lord Wyldon forbids her to go after them. She is left with a choice: obey Wyldon's orders and leave her Lady Knight for the killing devices, or go after them and presumably be declared a traitor. After burying the few dead at Haven, Kel tricks her guards into returning to Lord Wyldon without her, and begins what she believes will be a long and harrowing journey into enemy territory. Much to her surprise and dismay, she is soon joined by Neal, several of her other year-mates, Owen, Tobe, and members of the King's Own. They follow the path of the kidnapped refugees across the deadly Vassa river and into Scanra. A series of altercations result in the Scanran guards being depleted, and the rescue of Lady Knight adult refugees and convict guards of Haven. Continuing to track the kidnapped children, they are led to Fief Rathhausak, and a final battle between the Tortallans and the Lady Knight leaves Blayce dead, and the people of Rathhausak free from his tyranny.
