" Definitely a young adult novel. Not 1/8 as violent and nitty-gritty as something like The Hunger Games, but still entertaining. Great female lead character. Will definitely read the rest in the series for that point alone. "

" Ultimately the best book I've ever read!!! Which is ironic because back in middle school I must have picked it up a dozen times and put it back down! It wasn't until I met a Tamora Pierce fan did I read the series, and how did I love it!!! "

" I read this when I was 12, and I remember it being awesome! Alanna trains to become a knight (or something like that) by disguising herself as her twin brother. The whole series is great! "

" Anything by Tamora Pierce Is my favorite book. he only one of her series I haven't read is "Wild Magic", which I am currently working on. She is pure genius. "

" I probably actually give this book a 3.5. I think if I had read this book when I was in middle school, I probably would have loved it. "

" Pretty cute and a fun story, though it's clear that it was shortened by a publisher as some stuff is really glossed over. But it's still pretty damn good. "

" Very cool. I love the whole idea of this series. All the characters are fantastic. I love George. Alanna is one of the strongest female characters I believe I've ever met, which is really awesome. A good book for girls my age, I think. "

" I'm really happy I finally own this book, I suggest you read this book if you like reading about people becoming knights. Alanna takes the place of her twin brother and soon become the squire of the Prince. "

" Okay, but Tamora Pierce sticks with the same heroine theme, so it was a book of that character. Pretty good, but not superb. "

" So if you've read any Pierce you've read this. It's a little familiar given that I came to it after reading the Kellis books etc but still worth it if you want to run away for a while into the "girls can be awesome like boys too!" thing Pierce does so well. "

" I love this book and it saved me while I was in middle school. I really don't think I would have made it though without this book series. In my book, this book is a classic girl power fantasy that any middles schooler with self esteem issues (which is all of them) should read. "
