Summary: Different from the others but still just as good.
Review: ...I still read the book but I was quite dissapointed because it wasn't was mysterious.The book takes place in a Bazir (type of native) tribe. Alanna and Coram are not aloud to leave until they can train another Shaman to take over the tribe. Alanna is being held responible for an accident the happened with their last one. The book involves much controversy with Jonathan and George. You can really feel for Alanna and how confused she is. If you have read the other two make sure to read this one.

Summary: Still Strong
Review: Alright, some people complain about The Woman Who Rides Like a Man being too slow, and well, it does have a slower pace than the other instalments in SotL. However, it is still just as good and highly enjoyable. Why? It still has the action and the drama. Alanna must cope without Lighning and life in her new tribe, stubbern about their treditions. She overcomes trials and harships to emerge as the woman who she will be, and the action builds up and sets the stage just right for Lioness Rampant. This book is an excelent compliment to Lioness Rampant, and is not worth missing for anything!

Summary: The Woman who Rides Like a Man
Review: This was probably my least favorite of Tamora Pierce's novels that I have read. Though the Alanna series is my favorite of all of them, The Woman Who Rides Like a Man was disappointing. I wanted Jonathan and Alanna to be together, even if they would not have worked out. I can't imagine Alanna wearing dresses all the time and spending time at court all the time; even if Queen Thayet managed. But you have to read this book if you plan to finish the series. Otherwise you'll be thinking, "huh?". So read it anyway!

Summary: Disappointing
Review: This third book in the Alanna series had the potential of being very interesting, but I often find (when reading through the entire four books) that I skip over this one, and I don't miss a thing. True, skipping over a book in the middle of a series does cause some minor confusion as to the plot, but to be honest, this book almost has no plot! I was very disappointed with how this book read because I absolutely love Tamora Pierce, and the rest of this series is absolutely amazing... if only this part of the series could have lived up to its predecessors.

Summary: Awesome
Review: Read it, but if you haven't read. Alanna: The First Adventure or In the had of the goddess. The first and second books read them first...

Summary: why does it always got to be about sex
Review: I liked this book and I found it well written. what I didn't like was how Alanna went from being a nice well kept girl to a trampy warrior. Before you read this I want all you guys to know that if you wanted action or good fantasy you won't get it. Basically she discovers her female self and begins "mating". Thats all good but you can discover your self and remain classy. So, dear Alanna, I am very dissappointed in you. Hopefully you'll remain your daring self, but get some more class!

Summary: Great story!
Review: If you like magic and adventure, you'll love this book and the rest of the series. Warning!! If you read this book, you will enjoy it so much, you'll have to buy the entire series, "Alanna series, The Immortals series and Protector of the small series. Excellent author.

Summary: EXCELLENT!
Review: I think the Alanna books are excellent! I think any girl between the ages of 10 to 15 would like these books! I don't think boys would really like this book.

Summary: WONDERFUL!!!!!!
Review: This is a wonderfully breathtaking book about a woman named Alanna who had to pose as a man during her first years as a page and a squire. Now that she has succeeded in her dream of becoming the first woman knight in Tortallian history, she has been captured by a pack of tribesmen and has won the battle with one of the shamans(leaders)and has been named the first woman shaman. It is a wonderful book.

Summary: Point of view from a 7th grade girl
Review: The Woman Who Rides Like a Man, the 3rd book in the Song of the Lioness Quartet is a pretty good book. Alanna, the first female knight in about 100 years, goes South for the winter. She becomes the first female shaman for the Bazhir. Prince Jonathon comes to visit and to become The Voice. It seems that Alanna has met many new people in the first couple books, but now there are even more people introduced in the story. I liked everything about the book except for the ending. The book ended very abruptly and I thought there would be more. I advise you not to skip this one and go right onto Lioness Rampant(the 4th book.) If you choose not read this book you might not understand a lot of the 4th book. I hope you like this book(if you read it)just as much as I did.
