Lady Knight by Tamora Pierce
5.0
I'm so glad I decided to reread this series as an adult because it absolutely blew me away - maybe even moreso than the first time.
Kel remains an absolute role model for me and it was so wonderful to read about her navigating a world of discrimination, working her ass off, battling imposter syndrome, growing into a leader, and obviously taking down the bad guys too. Especially on a reread I valued so much more the way that Kel makes her own decisions surrounding sex and relationships. She is just such a fantastic character to exist in the world of YA fantasy.
Tamora Pierce really came into her own with this series and you can tell that the writing is much tighter and more mature than her previous works (I reread the Alanna and Daine series a couple of years ago). I honestly wouldn't change a thing.
10/10, will read again (and again!).
