In the Hand of the Goddess (The Song of the Lioness)

Probably my very favorite book of all time. Was such a key to my "coming of age" years. Tamora Pierce is truly gifted and her writing style makes you feel as if you are (or want to be) one of the characters. It doesn't hurt that I'm a short redhead who loves anything royal! Tehe. Wonderful book by my favorite author.

equally as amazing as the first, this book takes us into the land of Tortal once again and we watch as Alanna fights her way through many obsticals to finally win her sheild as a night and vanqueshes her worst enemy. these books give the reader a feel of possibility and hope for themselves.

A book showing the life of a growing girl, how she feels, and the difficulties of growing up....and at the same time trying to defeat herenemy the greatest sorcerer. This book shows how strong a women can be and gives hope and dreams to women of all ages.

2nd book. very good!!Allanna knows in her heart that a sorcrer id=s evil and plotting against the crown, but he is much loved. she also gos to war and kidnapped.
