Unfortunately this book ended up being my least favourite in the series so far and left me doubtful of Lioness Rampant and how it will close off the series. I hoped for a more serious story with more grown up characters and a deeper look at the world and Alanna’s place in it. Alanna was getting older and so the story would age with her. I thought that Song of the Lioness was going to be the sort of series that improved with each volume. "Men don't think and differently from women - they just make more noise about being able to." As the first female shaman, Alanna must fight to change the ancient traditions of the stubborn desert tribes, for their own sake and for the sake of all Tortall. But her real challenge doesn't come until after she wins. Captured by desert tribesmen, she is forced to prove herself in a magical duel to the death. This third book in the Song of the Lioness quartet continues Alanna's saga as she strikes out alone and discovers herself anew.Ī knight at last, Alanna of Trebond heads out to seek adventure in the desert of Tortall.
