FIRST TEST
This is another series about a heroine, Kel, who encounters the typical sexism showed by males towards females when she first begins her training to become a knight. Later, after being bullied herself, she makes it her business to deal with those who pick on others when she feels that the hazing has gone too far with fellow students.
It's a wonderful story about a girl who finds her way and doesn't take crap but does what she needs in order to succeed despite the obstacles in her way.
PAGE
Kel continues her training as she becomes a young woman in this story. I really like that the author's characters are educated when it comes to human nature and sex instead of it being considered a "sin" and something that shouldn't be talked about. It's refreshing to see such open-mindedness in a book meant for young adults.
The character Wyldon has also managed to grow on me as he's giving Kel the credit she deserves for the hard work she has done.
An overall wonderful book with many fine qualities.
SQUIRE
Kel has made it to becoming a squire, despite all the efforts of some to keep her from her dream. This one has a few poignant scenes, including one with her maid wishing her well that had my eyes tear up, and another involving the loss of Crown & Freckle. (sorry for the spoiler!)
Overall, a lot of surprises in this one! A great read!
LADY KNIGHT
Pierce is a wonderful author, and the conclusion to this series is no exception. There is a lot of action as well as some laughs and moments where Kel's kindness cannot fail to inspire. A wonderful story!
