I love the protector of the small quadrant. So much incredible social commentary set in a medieval-esque fantasy world. Would highly recommend for anyone 12 y/o and up, especially girls as a source of empowerment and just a fun adventure.

"Virtual repeat of 1st SotL book with gender politics. Yamani add-ins were nice, as were the Owen"

I really liked this, I always enjoy a good coming of age/defying the odds story of this type. The only problem I had was that I usually forgot that Kel was supposed to be 10 lol
I did not read the Lioness series, but I did not feel as though I had to to enjoy this story, which I feel is always a plus! It did make me /want/ to read it though! lol.
I already ordered the rest of the series lol

Pros:
Kel is a worthy main character. I love that she makes it a point to look out for those who need it, it seems to be something she comes by naturally possibly even from her mother.
Cons:
I don’t remember seeing so much hazing in the Song of the Lioness. I know that Alanna had one main bully and there were expectations but it seemed like the pages were kept too busy with serving at dinner and finishing their work after to go pestering each other needlessly. I would like for someone to have discussed this change, possibly Miles.
I don’t care for the accents this narrator picked for characters. It was rather grating after getting used to Trini then a full cast.
