    I didn't really like how Alanna hid in this book I thought she was stronger than that.

    Okay, I love these books, but I have to be honest with you. I'm getting really bored with review writing. So I'll cut to the chase. I LOVE THESE BOOKS AND EVERYONE SHOULD READ THEM.

    Alanna is a knight...finally. She and Coram go off "adventuring"...they become members of a Bazhir tribe and Alanna becomes their shaman, where (as usual) Alanna turns the world on its head. Wonderful!

    Not quite as engaging as the previous two, but certainly still a worthwhile read. The Bahzir are an interesting tribe, and their customs fascinating.
