Product Description:
'I'm not sure I want to be a hero anymore.'
Having achieved her dream of becoming the very first female knight errant, Alanna of Trebond is not sure what to do next. Perhaps being a knight errant is not all that Alanna needs....But Alanna must push her uncertainty aside when a new challenge arises. She must recover the Dominion Jewel, a legendary gem with enormous power for good -- but only in the right hands. And she must work quickly. Tortall is in great danger, and Alanna's archenemy, Duke Roger, is back -- and more powerful than ever. In this final book of the Song of the Lioness quartet, Alanna discovers that she indeed has a future worthy of her mythic past -- both as a warrior and as a woman.

The series was amazing over all but the very ending of it with her settling down was very unrealistic she had said from the very beginning she wanted to have adventures so yes I didn't like the ending. The rest of the book was good/okay.

This review is more for the entire "Lioness Quartet" quadrilogy, rather than this final installment in the series.
I was introduced to this series as a young girl of 11 or 12. They remained my favorite books for over a decade. The Lioness Quartet combines both magical, imaginative story telling with a strong feminist message. Equality is a powerful underlying theme in this series.
When I worked in a book store at the age of 20, I'd steer all mothers of adolescent girls in Tamora Pierce's direction. When I became a teacher, this series appeared on my recommended reading list. Now I have friends with daughters, and I put this series in their hands when I can.
I honestly believe that this series is essential in self esteem development of young women. I know it helped me.

This book is no disappointment for anyone who likes Tamora Pierce's Tortall books. A great read. Recommended for anyone looking for adventure. This book, of course, is a sequel, and is well worth reading. Tamora Pierce does not disappoint with her intriguing plot, life-like characters, thrilling adventures. Brilliant cover art for this edition. As usual a wonderful installment in her Tortall adventures.

This is the fourth book in the Song of the Lioness quartet. Alanna was born a nobleman's daughter, but she desperately wanted to be a knight. Her brother, Thom wanted to be a great sorcerer. So they switched places, Thom, going to the convent and Alanna going to the palace. In the second book she gets knighted and Thom gives her a shield with a rearing lioness, explaining that it represented a Lioness Rampant. So from then on everybody called her The Lioness. In this book Alanna and Coram (her man-at-arms) go on a journey to find the dominion jewel. The dominion jewel is a powerful gem that is magical. Meanwhile, back at the palace Lady Delia says that Thom can't bring Roger, the Duke of Conte and Alanna's arch enemy, back to life. So, of course, Thom does. Alexander of Tirragen plots with Roger to destroy the palace. Will Alanna get there in time to stop the powerful Duke, or will it be too late? If you read this book you will find out!!! I give this book two thumbs up!!!!

I'm afraid this series ended horribly. If you love reading about moral characters who stick to doing what is right even though its hard...dont read this book.
I felt so cheated to discover my heroine was nothing more then a naive, and insecure sword fighter.
When I read the last few pages I was in shock. I mean, it felt like a gossip girl meets medieval times. It was that bad. The main chara hadn't DEVELOPED into anything any woman desires to be.
The view of love in this book is screwed and leaves a bad taste in my heart. An interesting storyline is nothing when the chara comes out not a better person, but a desperate one willing to sleep with whoever will have her. PLEASE, dont waste your time.
