2018: Series buddy read with ✨Skye✨! ❤
This might be the least uniquely-Tortall book in the cycle; despite the appearances of so many characters we already know (Alanna, Numair, Thayet, Jonathan, George, etc.) it seems the most mainstream. It's still a great read, but Daine's naivete and the pre-war battles weren't as compelling to me as Kel's or Alanna's fights to prove themselves as lady knights, or the Circle coming into their powers. I also had a bit of a struggle knowing and Daine's abrupt shift from .
But I think most kids have dreamed of communicating with animals, and if you've managed to hold on to any part of that desire, you should be able to appreciate Daine's story. (Just between you and me, though, I think the other Tortall heroines are just more interesting.)
