Summary: LADY KNIGHT
Review: LADY KNIGHT is the greatest book I have read in a long time; I was never bored while reading it. Pierce has the fantastic ability to create what many authors have forgotten how to do: real characters. Kel work diligently for her title as "Lady Knight" as she experience both losses and triumphs in her quest to find herself and her greater purpose. (She even gets a cold!) Not only do the books character's become real, but the scenery and the plot comes to life with Pierce's vivid descriptions. Another unique aspect of her writing is that her heroines are all women while the majority of the world's books pose another male figure as the protagonist. It was a wonderful experience to read a book that shows the passion of the human spirit and the courage that lies within each of us. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves action, adventure, (even a little bit of magic) and stories about finding one's place in the world. I have not yet read the other three books in the PROTECTOR OF THE SMALL series, but I am very anxious to do so!

Summary: Lady Knight Rocks!
Review: This book was the best yet (and longest). I got through it so fast... I couldn't put it down. Then I read it again! This book was action-packed, and I kept on finding out even more stuff about Kel each time I read it. This book was great!

Summary: I was not disappointed!
Review: Tamora Pierce will again amaze you with Lady Knight. Although it didn't seem to end the way I had though that it would, it's ending was perfect! Also, if you have a weak heart, don't read chapter 3!

Summary: All's Well That Ends Well
Review: That is the truth for this book. Though definitely a good book, it was not quite as enrapturing as the others in the series. The beginning is ok, the middle loses a little bit of steam, but the last 100 pages or so, including the epilogue, make it all worth while. My favorite part (besides every scene with Neal, of course) is the last 2 paragraphs of the epilogue. [Long, breathy sigh...] Why can't we all be Lady Knights?!

Summary: More to come
Review: Okay, so Kel doesn't have a major romance here, and the ending seems a little flat, but the villain is actually more realistic than most. He's a small man that does big (and terrible) things. Most thugs are. And I think there is still another Kel book in the wings. Pierce has hinted as such, and the way this book ends with so much left unanswered seems to promise more in the future. And to be honest, I find I like Kel more and more the more and more I read. She's a very normal girl. Not in the girl-next-door or everyman way touted by Hollywood, but in the sense that she doesn't have any abilities that a normal girl in our world couldn't have. Not to mention she much more personable than Pierce's characters usually are. We love our loners like Alanna and Daine, but a team player like Kel is a nice change. Being a leader instead of a hero isn't exactly the norm for fantasy genre protaganists, and to have that "Captain of the Gaurds" sort of figure as more than an interesting bit character makes for a more "realistic" feel to the storytelling. While there's still plenty of magic and Tortallian references for us old timers, there's also the feeling that with a few tweaks you could put Kel in the Red Cross and have her refugees be from Eastern Europe rather than Norther Tortall without skipping a beat. Classic Pierce with some fresh twists.

Summary: Lady Knight
Review: I thought this book was good,but not as good as Pierce's previous books. In Lady Knight, it seemed that Kel's attitude changed,and she seemed less human. The book did not play as heavily on her faults as the others did. There was no mention of her fear of heights. While it was a wonderful tribute to those who died in 9-11, the book itself was sadly lacking. The climax was built up remarkably well, but the book just. . . ended. In this book, Kel seems more superhuman, and less kind towards people. Her treatment of Tobe and several of the others in the camp reflects this. I didn't like that part. The book also doesn't mention some of the things that were very important to Kel in Squire, Page, and First Test. It was like Kel was truly a noble, and not someone who was kind and fair to people. Though she was very fair in her treatment with people in this book.

Summary: hmmm... kinda dissapointed
Review: Honestly, i wasnt really expecting this book to be good. Usually tamora peirce writes well, but the book previous to this one (Squire) i didnt find that exceptional. so i figured this one would be the same sappy mushy "i dont know who i love" kinda book. i was very wrong. i started reading it, and was very excited! it wasnt like that! it was very well written. howerver, everything got really easy in the end. it was TOO easy. also, instead of minimising the amount of romance, she eliminated it entirely... it doesnt really match up and the reader is left feeling like the story is unfinished. she should write another to tie it up

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Really i'm not writing any details because the other reviews have all that. I im just writting to point out that 1.fantacstic read, 2. cleon is removed without any acward scilences, and kel isn't broken hearted about it, good because i didn't like cleon and he was just too clingy. 3. Kel is placed with neal and all the humor and dry remarks are back. 4. Kel breaks the rules!!!!:) 5. Dom is still a crush... she doesn't do anything about it but the ending... leads you on, no doubt we will find out in another characters life. I HOPE! they would be a wonderful couple don't you think? and finally 6. the book lacks nothing. Oooooohhhhh!!! _____ gets married to ______ in squire that was ehem... in his room. don't tell anyone i said that.

Summary: great book
Review: This was a great book that I think made kel grow into herself very well. I rhink that if you are looking for romance, and don't find any in this book,don't complain. this is not a romance novel. I also like this ending better than the oh-so-perfect endings to Allana and Daines books.
