A review by mysticforestcrafts
First Test by Tamora Pierce

4.0

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.
