The story gave me whiplash with how fast it went from "Lady Kell is a protector of the realm and as such she gets to do knightly things!" to "KELL HAS TO DEFEAT A NECROMANCER WHO IS USING THE SOULS OF DEAD CHILDREN TO POWER WAR MACHINES IN HIS RELENTLESS MARCH ACROSS THE CONTINENT." 

What. 

It would be nice to see Kell get older and become a more established Lady Knight, just like Alanna, but I'm sure in any future Tortall series, she's going to be relegated to the background like Alanna was in this one.
