Synopsis:
In a time when girls are forbidden to be warriors, Alanna of Trebond wants nothing more than to be a knight of the realm of Tortall. So she finds a way to switch places with her twin brother, Thom. Disguised as a boy, Alanna begins her training as a page at the palace of King Roald. But the road to knighthood, as she discovers, is not an easy one. Alanna must master weapons, combat, and magic, as well as polite behavior, her temper, and even her own heart.
Review:
This was the second time I have read Alanna and I did enjoy it this time as much as the first. Alanna as a character is a strong young woman and I love her interactions with both friends and enemies. The last third of the book got very intense and was perhaps resolved a little quickly but did set up the following books well and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars.
