A review by sarah1984
Lark's Quest by Barbara Cool Lee

4.0

12/08 - Just like another reviewer I tried countless times to win a GR giveaway for this book, but I was also unsuccessful. Thankfully I found this and its two sequels for $0.99 each on eBay, a fair price for a short, four star book. I liked Lark's physical strength, the way she could laugh at a young boy's offer to walk her home because she knew that no matter who she encountered she could look after herself. I was a little surprised at the hint of romance brewing between Lark and Raven, although now that I think about it I probably should have guess considering the number of romances Lee had listed in the GR giveaways. Lark's Quest had good-to-great dialogue and evocative descriptions, especially of Lark's Ariane uniform and her training routine. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, it's just a shame all three books are so short, they have such promise they could easily have filled Tolkien or Paolini sized tomes and still left us wanting more.
