5By potateCriticI luv it so much you need this book series!!! Like I’m not joking! This is really a good book for all those tomboys!! (Spoiler alert)But there is one thing about this book series......... SHE DIDN’T END UP WITH JOHN!!!!!!! I DON’T APROVE OF HER CHOSE TO MARRY GEORGE AND SETTLE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOoOoOoOooOoO! But I did have a great experience with theses books! I got a lesbian fan-fic outta it! :D! U NEED THESE BOOKS OR YOU ARE STUPID( sorry but I true!)Amazing writing.
5By KabukiMask33714I started off reading tricksters choice and tricksters Queen. Those are two of my favorite books. Reading about the lioness is just as captivating. I love the way Tamora pierce writes.One of the best series out there!
5By PokesmartIt haa everything, great characters, strong plotline, romance, characters you want to punch in the face, and the main character is amazing. One thing I noticed is the summary. I find it funny how it says Thom pretends to be a girl. This isn't true by any means, and is sort of ironic considering how in the third book Alanna specifically tells a girl that her brother did NOT dress as a woman, and how stupid that would be.So amazing
5By Animal-lover3000Finally, a book with a strong heroine who is confident in herself. I love this book so much, I've read it too many times.A great YA fantasy
5By SwulbrecAn excellent book and very well-written. First read all of her books as a girl and still love them the second time through as an adult. You'll love this fiery haired and stubborn heroine.One of my favorites
5By ExpanshineI've always loved a good heroine novel. This book speaks to me in the way that i feel like the main character. It feels like how hard Ender is pushed in Ender's game with the magic and fun of the Webmage series.Good
5By Alanna the LionessThis book begins the amazing series of the Lioness. I recomend the Immortals, also by Tamora PierceAmazing
5By EllelunaloveThis I one of my favorite books ever along with the rest of the books of the series. If you like fantasy in an older setting with knights and adventures, then this is the book/series for you.omg
5By Max P. Sterlingi am so happy to find this here. my book which is many years old is falling apart from countless times i have taken it on trips. now its here and i can read it again ty itunes.Take that Bella!
5By ActuallyGrootAlanna is the story of a young girl who takes her destiny into her own hands--she cuts off her hair and switches places with her brother Thom to become a knight. Alanna: The First Adventure enthralls from the first chapter to the climactic end. She's fierce, spunky, loyal, driven, and brave: essentially a great role-model for any teen or pre-teen girl. Another bonus is that this is the first book of the first quartet in the Tortall series by Pierce that follows four amazing women. A young reader can easily grow with the books.Great Book!
5By Yay is meI love this book! I was so into it I read it 12 days. I can't wait to read the second one!Just great
5By monkey_JennI loved this series the first time I read it, and it's still fun this time through.... Only thing I found irritating is the mix up with the main characters twin brothers name... Half of the time it's Thom as it should be, the other half it's Thorn.....How could you not love this book?
