It ended perfectly. What I really like about Kel was that she was believable, and there's something in every girl that sympathizes with her. She wants to treat people fairly, and feels real responsibility. She's witty, and she is capable of having friendships with men without being romantically engaged with them. She is clever and physically strong. And a heroine as engaging as Kel is can keep a book going. The plot in this one was interesting, although it almost seemed Kel had it too easy, getting the children back. But maybe the difficulties they had along the way made up for it. It was better than the predecessors, because it wasn't so opinion saturated, it was an adventure story. And a good one, too. *Review of the series as a whole* Alright, Kel is totally OP (especially in the beginning, when she's supposed to be a 13-year-old beating up 15- and 16-year-olds), but she faces challenges and obstacles, and doesn't always win, and overcomes. I'd forgotten how much I loved Keladry - I really hope Pierce does a follow up or at least mentions her in another book so I can see what becomes of her! I always appreciated that Kel didn't have any magic, and succeeded with just her stubbornness and ambition. Her journey - as a knight and as a woman - is beautiful and inspiring. I only hope I will be as brave as Lady Keladry of Mindelan if I ever need to. no reviews | add a review

I’d rate the majority of the book ok, though there were some parts where I got a bit more interested and would up the rating to “good”. Overall, though, I’m leaving it at ok. I do think the second half picked up a bit more over the first half. ( )
