Summary: Amazing, A MUST READ!!!
Review: This book was absolutley wonderful. It was kinda sad though, because there wasn't any romance... But that is besides the point for Keladry. In this book they are going to war with scanra. Along the way, she meets a ten year old boy named Tobe. His master would beat him so she bought him. Once they get to fort mastiff, Kel is extremely dissapointed with her task, set forth by lord Wyldon. But despite her dissapointment, it is truly a job that suits Kel more than any of the other knights her age. And soon she begins to like it. But then, tradgedy strikes. Should she follow lord Wyldons orders? Or should she save the children, and her people and get her sheild taken away for treason?
You decide when you read this amazing novel...AMAZING

Summary: What's wrong with you people?
Review: Everyone is saying they were dissapointed in this book by the lack of romance. I'm glad Tammy didn't write the book the way she knew we wanted it, and instead wrote it as if it were following a real person's life, where things don't just happen when you wan them too. I am a big Dom fan, so the hints at a later romance and her crush still existing were amazing for me. I can't wait to see if they get together. I am glad Tammy made him a main character in the last and my favorite installment in POTS.PS> The little details are what make a story interesting. Without them it's more like reading a script than a story.

Summary: O.k. would not recomend
Review: This was a rather dissapointing book and I'm not likely to read the other's in the series. The real plot came in at the very end. I WOULD NOT!!! waist your money on it.

Summary: Wonderful book, wonderful series!
Review: I discovered "First Test" (the first book in this series) last year, and eagerly devoured each book in turn. I started "Lady Knight" last night and am already halfway through. Unlike another reviewer, I was delighted at the way Pierce handled Kel and Cleon's relationship -- no matter how much of a Knight she is, Kel is still a teenage girl, and it's realistic for passionate crushes to fade into friendship over time. It's marvelous to meet a female protagonist who is courageous, determined, and strong, yet still compassionate. Kel is a very real young woman. Yes, the battle scenes are horrifying, and rightly so. I wouldn't recommend these books for anyone under, say, 14, but older teens and adults should give them a try!

Summary: Not as good as the rest of the series
Review: I've always loved all of Tamora Pierce's books about Tortall, and I was waiting eagerly for this book to come out. However, when I finally got it and read it, I was kind of disappointed. The ending kind of left off in an akward place, and to me, didnt conclude things like the rest of her series about tortall did. The book was pretty good, and kept me entertained and busy for a couple of days, but I really think Tamora Pierce could have done better. Just dont get too excited about reading this book. You might be disappointed.

Summary: Unnecessarily long
Review: If you're expecting Ms. Pierce's best work in LADY KNIGHT, I'm sorry to tell you that you'd better read ALANNA or WOLF SPEAKER again. I like the idea of Keladry as a commander, but the epic war scenes are dry and too long. I have nothing against books that are long, but LADY KNIGHT is *unnecessarily* so. For instance, if you've read this book, do you agree that the three pages devoted to Kel's cold/Neal's healing it/her still feeling crummy/etc. is necessary to the story? There are many other scenes like this that could be eliminated or shortened: Kel's adoration for the clerks and Raoul's saying something like "I must go by the palace barber and get my ears cleaned out...I could've sworn you just said you wanted to go back in the Chamber again" sounds stretched and phony. Why couldn't Pierce just mention that Lord Raoul looked shocked, or better, SHOW his surprise in a reference to body movement? Also (and I don't mean to spoil this for you, but it happens very early on) Cleon is dismissed as another temporary crush, like Neal, when she had us thinking in SQUIRE that he was really for her. This is not a good plot twist; it doesn't make sense. If she'd hinted all along that Cleon wasn't perfect, then maybe it would work. However, LADY KNIGHT does have some redeeming qualities. I like the way she hints that Kel will fall in love with a certain young man (I won't spoil that for you) without having them kiss and so forth. Kel's capability and commanding-ness make her different from Alanna, which is good. Some authors change their character's name but keep her personality, but Pierce has created a new, spunky heroine in Keladry. Don't buy this book, but do check it out from the library and finish Kel's story--you may not love it, but if you enjoyed the other books, you must read it.

Summary: A great conclusion - at least in my opinion
Review: Many, many people who wrote reviews of this book said that the ending wasn't worth it. My dad bought this book for me and I read it and I LOVED IT!!! I actually thought that the ending was satisfying. It was quite clear that Kel loved Cleon very much, and he loved her very much, but Cleon went off and married another equally nice girl, as he says in the story, and helped his fief, which was facing financial ruin.
This book is really worth buying if you don't mind a lot of violence. It seems that Pierce has a pattern - in the last book, there is a lot of death and destruction. Now I don't mind this, but some people do.
This book is worth reading, and I suggest that you read it today!!

Summary: Great Book!!!
Review: This book was a great story written by my all-time favorite author, Tamora Pierce. It's about Keladry "Kel" of Mindelan, who wanted to become a knight of Tortall.. In the previous book, she did. In this book, it's her first adventure as a knight, where she learns that what the orders are aren't always right....and that sometimes you need to let go to follow what you belong to.
I strongly reccomend this book!
