Summary: Great!!!!!
Review: This book is probably my favorite of the Protector of the Small Quartet. It has a lot of sad and happy and outraged areas that are important to the eventual completion. In among all the emotion and
other ideas that are included in the book, there is Tamora Pierce's usual laugh in your head humor. I thought this book was a definite must read!

Summary: Its Okay
Review: Compared to all of Ms. Pierce books, I don't think this is her best writing. The plot isn't very exciting and it's very predictable. The fourth book in the Protector of the Small series, Keladry or Kel, of Mindelan is now a knight. She is sant to command and train a refugee camp to help with the war with Scanra. Kel quickly gains the refugee's respect and trust. But when many of Kel's refugee children are kidnapped to make killing devices, Kel must stop an evil mage and become the protector of the small.

Summary: Two Thumbs Up
Review: First off, this book I just love. It is packed with adventure, and I loved the entire thing. I couldn't put it down. I placed a hold on it at Borders, so that when it came in they would notify me. I was furious when they sent me a postcard saying that it wasn't published, though I knew it was, since I had read it. I had to travel to a different state to get it. I didn't go just for that purpose though, but I did buy it there. Kel is finally a knight, her dream come true. She is put in charge of the refugee camp, which she calls Haven. When she is gone, an army attacks the camp, and though the refugees put up a worthy fight, they were captured. Kel is forced to not chase after them, but we're talking about the girl who risked repeated her page years for her maid. She sneaked away and went after them, and finally completed the task that the Chamber of the Ordeal set before her.

Summary: Natually it is wonderful
Review: Well, being a Tamora Pierce fan, I naturally loved this book, and the series that it belongs in. The series is all about a girl who wants to become a knight, dispite of what people say, int this book, she becomes a knight and proves that she could do it.
It is really a great book, and I think everyone who likes this genre should read it.

Summary: She's lost her touch.
Review: Ms. Pierce tries to cook too many morals into this book. YES, we know Kel is upright and commanding and frank and clean and compassionate and all that, but I think she's TOO virtuous. Alanna was a misanthrope and had much more snap to her. Ms. Pierce's Advice for Writers on her website suggests that when you're bored, you introduce a new character. I am positive that Tobe was born this way, because he's useless to the story, except for being another small creature that Kel protects. She could protect him and relocate him, instead of dragging this unrealistic, useless cow-eyed kid around with her.Ms. Pierce's website expresses relief that since Harry Potter, children's books are allowed to be longer. (Sigh.) Now that she doesn't have to edit as much, she leaves in long, boring battle marches, cliches, useless characters (Tobe!) and longwinded morals (don't drink! and with the Court of the Rogue, she had pretty liberal ideas about alcohol before she succumbed to parents' complaints.)

Summary: Very good
Review: I read the whole series in less than a week. It's a great book for anyone. The protaganist is easy to relate to and makes you feel like your in the story. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: A really good book
Review: The last (but defintely not the least) installment of the Protector of the Small was fantastic. I loved the plot and, as always, the writing style.

Summary: Lady Knight (Protector of the Small, 4)
Review: Lady Knight is a fantastic story about a knight named Kelardy. The twist is that Kel is the second female knight in all the realm of Tortall. Unfortunately, Kel can not get help or advice from the first knight, Alanna the Lioness becase the Crown believes that Alanna will put a spell on Kel to help her suceed.
This book in particular tells how Kel is sent to run a refugee camp called Haven. But Kel would much rather be fighting in the war with Scanra. Fortunately her good friends Merric, Nealan, and Dom are there to help. Not to mention the entertaining villagers.
Throughout the book many obstacles and suprises appear. One of them is a new servant for Kel, whose name is Tobe. Kel rescued him from an abusive inkeeper when she saw that he possesed horse magic, and could deal with her tempermental horse, Peachblossom.
This book is geat at teaching lessons because the whole way Kel is battling Scanrans, evil metal giants called killing devices, and the urge to leave her people and follow the chambers quest for her by destroying the Nothing Man.
I love this book! I enjoy the drama, humor, and characters Kel meets on her way. This book completes the quartet; Protector of the Small brillantly. Other books in quartet:
