Alanna

the First Adventure
Apr 21, 2017PinesandPrejudice rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
I am so happy I decided to reread this series. It was something I had read back in middle school -- I loved it then and I loved it now. I am grateful for authors like Tamora Pierce who created such inspiring female characters in fantastic world, proving their strength and worth. I remember how much I related to Alanna and it's no different now, expect I'm a little taller and my hair is a little less read. This is a fantastic story about a young girl, determined to beat the odd and follow her dreams, despite what the gods have dealt her. Also, I noticed the format of the book, how it is told almost like short stories or adventures in each chapter. It's able to cover the important aspects over an increasing period of time, which I really appreciated. Love this story and can't wait to enjoy it all over again.
