Alanna: The First Adventure (Song of the Lioness, #1)
by Tamora Pierce
I just finished rereading the whole Song of the Lioness. Miscellaneous thoughts:
-
This is the best story Tamora Pierce has written, by far. If you've read other Tamora Pierce books and didn't like them, I still recommend this one to you.
-
While it's sold as four separate books, and each book does manage to stand on its own, they're best read together as a single long story and all at once.
-
Simple, straightforward style of writing.
-
I just love it, ok? It's not always perfect but I even love the imperfections.
