Helpful Score: 4

This book picks up several months after the end of Alanna (the first book in the Lionness Quartet) and tells the tale of the final years of Alanna's training. As the Goddess's hand lays ever more strongly over her Alanna begins to explore her more feminine side in addition to fighting in her first battle and trying to make sure Jonathan lives long enough to become king. This book introduces new characters and challenges while tying together threads from Book 1 all leading up to a final confrontation.

This book is well written and a quick entertaining read for both YA and adults. The conclusion comes rather abruptly after the climax, but Book 3 picks up shortly after.
