The conclusion to the Protector of the Small quartet and we get to see Kel in action as a fully fledged knight. Put in charge of a refugee camp, Kel faces new and difficult challenges.

- Kel's growth from child to adult has been wonderful to witness and her latest challenge helps her grow further, with help from some familiar friends.

- I liked how this book addresses sexism and classism in calm, controlled ways, showing that violence and overpowering someone is not always the best route to gain what you want.

- The story was great and well thought-out though occasionally solutions seemed a little to convenient. However, the end is satisfying and left me a little sad to leave Kel. 

I hope Kel appears again in future books from Pierce. The series would be wonderful for young adults who like fantasy but also have a passion for overcoming injustice and correcting the wrongs in the world.
