Wow I came away even more impressed with The Woman Who Rides Like a Man... This series has incrementally gotten better with each book. I loved watching Alanna turn in to a teacher to the young girls of the Bazhir and bring about change amongst their tribe. Also you learn Alanna's fears about her brothers from even back in book one are starting to take shape. Without spoiling outright, I'm glad a certain couple will never ship, and the correct one probably will. Now bring on the Lioness Rampant! 5 out of 5.
