In the Hand of the Goddess: Song of the Lioness #2 Audiobook

" 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. "

" The best girl hero series that I've read! "

" 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. "

" Tamora Pierce's books are awesome. She creates exciting, thrilling and riveting stories. "

" 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. "

" The last of Alanna's castle adventures. After this, she moves on to the real world. I think this was probably my favorite of the books that I've read so far. "

" The writing is choppier than I remember it being, but still. "

" I loved this one too! "

" liking these books more and more as I go along. "

" My favorite book in the series. "

" 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. "

" My girl is growing up... "

" Love this series, and this is probably my fave of the four! "

" 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. "

" This series is just awsome!! "

" aw! "

" The second one is also amazing and has excitement at every turn and Ive also read this book many times. "

" Love this girl! "

" *choirs of angels sing* "

" Of this series, this is my favorite book. I love the adventures and how Alanna grows and changes... "

" 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! "

" certain people think this series is my root. i looooove it. (some weird race stuff, but much better on class and gender than most fantasy books.) "

" I liked this one better than Alanna. The story seemed to gel better....still not challenging, but a good, quick read. "

" Can't wait for more... "

" 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. "

" Re-read 3/3/2013 for Hub Reading Challenge "

" all of the song of the lioness books are good, but you have to be careful. they really are teen books. i love the plot. "

" The story continues to get better, but I assume all volumes will follow the same slightly weak writing style. "

" 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. "

" My favourite of this Quartet. I love the believability of Alanna's transformation from girl to woman- and also to warrior. She faces up to her demons in every way. It is also a wonderfully written book. A VERY enjoyable read. =-) "

" See Book #1 for information - Alanna the first adventure "

" I love it, I love it, I love it. "

" 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. "

" I loved these books. In fact I think, I still have them back from 8th grade! "

" Delightful, with some unexpected plot developments. Two down, two to go. "

" Alanna is still masquerading as a boy, Alan, as she trains to be a knight. As squire to Prince Jonathan, she is always in the thick of court intrique. She must use her magical gifts and a special cat to foil a plot to murder Jonathan and put the evil sorcerer Rojer on the throne. "

" These are kind of sweet. They have a familiar feel to them with likable characters and an original storyline. At about 126 pages a book it is like my old "12 pack and a trilogy" lunch on summer days in my 20's. "

" It was a good starter book for independant young women. A good book to go back to for simple reading. "
