Rating:  Summary: This book is Tamora Pierce at her best. Review: When I read this book for the first time it was in one day. I immediately knew it was my favorite. It was suspenseful and interesting. Three different plots woven into one. The appearance of the Mother Goddess made it all the better.In this book you watch as Alanna begins to overcome the three fears she has never really accepted. Her fear of love, the Ordeal of Knighthood, and of the Duke Roger of Conte. A magnificent book!!!

After I read the book I reread it over and over again. Tamora Pierce is a wonderful author! She knows how to get the reader involved in the first couple of paragraphs of this exciting and interesting novel!

She will learn how to love and she will face up to her three greatest fears. Alanna will prove to all Tortall that she has earned the shield she set out to conquer.In this book you will read the what Alanna does on her way on becoming a legend.
Rating:  Summary: A well thought out novel for people of all ages Review: I love this book's sense of reality and struggles. Alanna had to work to do everything perfectly and was never quite there. In every battle, dream, and real life sinario things are all to believable.
Rating:  Summary: One of the better books in the genre. Review: "In the Hand of the Goddess" is the stunning sequel to "Alanna: The First Adventure". This book was so incredibly breath-taking, I found myself gasping at every turn. The characterisations are superb, embedded in a well-developed plot set in a believable world. Alanna is the young, secretly female squire of the heir to the Tortallen throne. She struggles with her identity, visitations from divinities and the love of her best friends and gradually discovers herself. She faces her nemisis in the oily Duke Roger, and..... The characters in this book bear notice because they cannot be neatly classified, as the one-dimensional characters in so many modern books so neatly show us. The world is completely believable, from the gods and goddesses to the common people. Tamara Pierce ought to be commended for her excellent work in this genre, allowing it to become something more than shallow entertainment. This book is a gem; do yourself a favour and get it today!!
