Author: Tamora Pierce
Publisher: Simon Pulse
ISBN 13: 978-0689878565
Synopsis:
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.
Review:
This was the second time I have read the Alanna series and I while I did enjoy this installment I found a few scenes to be rather uncomfortable and others lacking in detail. Again this could be because of the time it was written (early 80's) and the fact that it is a kids book. But I liked the characters and the story moved on at a pretty fast pace.

I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars.
