Title: Alanna: The First Adventure (Book 1)
Author: Tamora Pierce
Review:� This Book was great in my opinion.� It had all the parts a great fantasy book needs. It has magic and adventure.� Alanna is a unique female that just loves every thing about knights.� Her best friend is the prince of the realm himself.� Alanna has a lot of fun just hanging around the castle and the city.� She also becomes best friends with the king of thieves.� I just could not get enough of her and every time Tamora Pierce has another book come out I jump on it hoping that Alanna is going to be in it in some way, because were ever Alanna is adventure follows.� And throughout this tale Alanna must keep her true identity hidden.
Titles: Hand of the Goddess (Book 2)
Author: Tamora Pierce
Review:� The first book was good the second book is better.� In the first book all the people Alanna interacted with were pretty much mortal but in the second book right off Alanna meets a god.� Alanna makes new friends and losses others.� She also makes enemies at the very same time.� She has fun and also faces new adventures that test her abilities to the limit.� In this book a romance develops between Alanna and one of her friends.� Romance is a new thing to Alanna.� In the end Alanna lets her secret be known and learns to love.
Title: Woman Who Rides Like A Man (Book 3)
Author: Tamora Pierce
Review:� In this book Alanna has given up her secret and has her shield.� Alanna leaves one culture and is incorporated in another for a time.� Not all goes well for her but she does her best.� She losses and gains things she cherishes and all for the better.� Enemies she thought were long gone surface in ways you could not believe.� Of all the books I have this is one of my favorites.� Just for the reason that the main character is a woman. Title: Lioness Rampant (Book 4)Author: Tamora PierceReview:� In this book all of the things that have happened in the previous three books come together.� If you haven't read the other three books in the series then you really should before you read this one.� Alanna goes back to palace and finds out what has been happening while she has been away.� Not all of these things are good but she also achieves a height in her role that you would never expect.� This is I think the perfect ending to the series.� The thing to remember is thatthis is not the last that we will see of Alanna.

Title: Wild Magic
Author: Tamora Pierce
Review:� I think that Tamora Pierce has again done a wonderful job of bringing to life a female heroine that will always stick in my memory.� In this book a girl named Daine is introduced as the main character.� Daine is a very unique thirteen-year-old that loves animals and believes that she is a non-magical being.� Daine has wild magic and has very little control over it.� She meets new friends that help her learn to control her newfound powers.� She meets people that she first thinks of as people that would never socialize with her because of what she is.� In the end though she learns that she has real reason to believe that she is in some ways their equal.� One of the people that befriend her is Alanna a female knight and good friend on the King.
Title: Wolf-Speaker
Author: Tamora Pierce
Review:� Daine is now on an adventure to save friends of hers.� The twist is that her friends are not human.� Having non-human friends is at times a benefit and at times a down side.� Daine learns things about herself that change her perception on life.� She learns new ways to use her magic and new ways to help her friends.� All in all Daine has an adventure that could last a lifetime.� The thing is it doesn't need to.
