Lioness Rampant (The Song of the Lioness)

Sort of a weak ending for the quartet.

The thrilling conclusion to the Song of the Lioness Series. Thom reappears (well actually he's mentioned posthumously). He died trying to bring Count Roger back to life. Roger does in fact come back to life, and is duely killed by Alanna yet again (serves him right).

The thrilling conclusion to the Song of the Lioness Series. Thom reappears (well actually he's mentioned posthumously). He died trying to bring Count Roger back to life. Roger does in fact come back to life, and is duely killed by Alanna yet again (serves him right). The main event of the book though is when Alanna goes on a thrilling quest for the Dominion Jewel (which will of course reappear in The Immortals). This Jewel makes the King incredibly powerful, although I can't say what power it gives him, I will say it has to do with magic. She brings it back, just in time for Prince Jonathan's Coronation. As King of Tortall Jonathan makes Alanna his Champion-the third highest office in the Kingdom, basically she answers only to the King and fights only for him. Prince Jonathan also marries, not Alanna, but a K'miri woman named Thayet. She too plays a large role in The Immortals. A good book for anyone who has read the others.   hide

I love all of the books by this author. They're wonderful

this is a really good book, probably the best of the song of the lioness series.
