The last book in the Lioness series is maybe the best with an amazing showdown. Alanna comes into her full power as a knight and a woman and the combination of both is a breathtaking ride. It‘s easy to see who she becomes a legend in her world, when even I, the reader, has become a fan of the heroine. Her journey to becoming this legend is every step as believable and real as if it had happened in the real world, irrespective of the magic involved, her challenges to overcome are so realistic, suitable and real that she becomes a heroine and a woman to admire. I will get this series as paperback, as I‘m sure to read it many more times. It‘s the best fantasy series I‘ve read in ages, and I wish I had discovered Tamora Pierce years ago, when I was in dire need of a great fantasy read.
