Disguised as a boy, Alanna of Trebond becomes a squire -- to none other than the prince of the realm. But Prince Jonathan is much more to Alanna; he is her ally, her best friend, and one of the few who knows that she's really a girl. Now it will take all of Alanna's awesome skill, strength, and growing magical powers to protect him from the mysterious evil sorcerer who is bent on his destruction--and hers! Here continues the story of Alanna, a young woman bound for glory who is willing to fight against enormous odds for what she believes in.

    " Even though is early teens level reading / maybe a little earlier it really is a timeless classic that I still enjoy 10 years later. Trini the reader was fantasic. "

    " I am loving this series. Pierce is a good author. The plot seemed to jump around a lot from one adventure to the next which makes me understand better why our teen readers like it. Again the author does not pressure the reader to read the next book (but I will). "

    " Alanna has moved on to squire and the Goddess takes a hand in her future. The animal friend enters the story, one of my favorite parts of Tamora Pierce's books. She excels as squire to the prince and defeats the evil uncle in the end. Another great story about an exceptional young woman. "

    " After tipsily recapping the entire series to a friend over drinks, it was officially time for my semi-annual re-read of the Song of the Lioness series. Still pretty much awesome, despite the talking, omniscient cat. "

    " Tamora continues her saga with another excellent book. The whole plot kept you on the edge of your seat, and you couldn't put it down.(i know i couldn't). One of the only things that dissapointed me about this book was tamora had the tendency to skip out on seemingly important events that me as a reader would have liked to have learned more about. (going home when her father died, and the romantic moments her and johnathan had.) Im still debating wheather or not it was a stratigic point on her part to give the reader such brief glimpses on smaller parts in the story that seem big, but i for one would appreciate the extra exerpt into Alanna's life.

    " A good quick read. Too few fantasy and sci-fi novels with female protagonists out there, and this is one of the better ones, though clearly aimed at younger readers. God forbid I ever have kids, but if I do, I'll make sure they read the Tortall books. "

    " A fun read, though there really wasn't much development between everyone loving evil Roger to everyone being willing to accept that he's evil when Alanna announces it. It also reads very much like a kids book so when people start sleeping with each other it struck me as odd. "

    " I can never decide if I like this one more or less than the previous. It's definitely good, but so much happens here and it's done so quickly. Definitely wish it was drawn out a little more, but still good. It's also nice to see Thom return outside of a letter. "

    " An absolutely fantastic follow up to book one of this series. One of the reasons why I enjoy Tamora Pierce's series so much is probably because we see the heroines grow and change, facing issues that every girl is challenged with though perhaps a little bit exaggerated. Bring on the next book! "

    " I really love how Alanna grows in this series, and I love George. Also, thank you, Pierce, for explaining why everyone was so bizarrely trusting of Duke Roger. So much fun, and if you love fantasy with a strong female lead, you should definitely read this series. "

    " Much, much better than the first book. I feel like one and two should have come out as one book, as book one spent way too much time just setting the stage for book two. Regardless, this book was a good read. "

    " This book really flies through Alanna's later teen years. Interesting twists but went a little too fast for me to love it. Excited for Sir Alanna to run around in further adventures so I will keep reading. Also liked Faithful the cat, bringing the magic in. "
