Summary: Help! I can't put it down!
Review: I have read the whole Lioness Quartet, and this book was the best out of the 4 by far! Alanna is a one of a kind character, I find myself daydreaming, wishing that i could be like her. After I finished these books I went through Alanna withdrawel lol, everyone will miss reading about this extroardinary character. Anyone who starts this series will be doomed to read all the rest and everything else written by this talented author. So please why don't you give this book and the other 3 a try. I can garuntee, you won't be disaponted.

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Alanna's story continues in In the Hand of the Goddess. Even better than the first one, which I did not think was possible, but it is. The story wonderfully weaves along, with the intrigues of war and destiny spinning her fate. With a gripping climax, I found my heart ponding, and loving every moment I read. There are some out there who feel that there is content that is innapropriate for certain readers. I beg to differ. First of all, issues of romance should not be locked behind a closet, and this story does not keep it all giggle giggle and hush hush. Tamora Pierce did an excenlt job of raising these issues for young people, and showing them that it can be a wonderful when both parties are responncible and they both love one another. The emotional price is also shown, and further more, Alanna is seventeen going on eighteen by this time, NOT three months out of puberty. She is a responcible adult, capeable of making her own decions and knowing the conciquences. That said, In the Hand of the Goddess is an excelt read and certianly unforgettable. The action is fresh and gripping, the characters real and sympethic (except for the villians), and the setting of Tortall perfect. It is a refreshing break from a gene stale with Dark Lords and little farm boys pretending to be heroes. Alanna is one of the best personalties out there, and is an excelent role model for young girls and young boys and adults alike.

Summary: Please read this if you have a good imagination!
Review: This book, the second in the Lioness series, is in my opinion the best. I first read the series when I was in yr 7 at school [aged about 12] and it instantly captured my interest as I had been reared by my mother on fairy tales and Tolkein as far back as I can remember.
Alanna is in many ways the perfect female role model for young girls; they can identify with her problems and moral situations as well as wish to aspire to be as determined and go-getting as her.
But on a completely different level, these books are FUN!! easy reading for all ages with an enchanting and unashamedly fantastic style; the kind of book you read as a girl and then re-discover 5 years later when clearing out your room. It's like finding an old friend! re-reading the Lioness series is delightfully nostalgic.

Summary: In the Hand of the Goddess review
Review: I thought 'In the Hand of the Goddess' was the best book in the series, because Alanna more or less 'discovers her real self'. If you love Fantasy, it's definetely going to be a favorite... it is filled with action and suspense. I also thought the characters were well written, and the villain was neat (in my opinion a neat villain makes the hero/heroine more interesting *_*) and all together the descriptions were good and it was very well written. You felt like you were there watching each scene play out and you really felt how the characters did.

Summary: Alanna! Alanna! Read this book!
Review: I read this book last year and I loved it. It's an excellent fantasy novel with plenty of action, suspence, and character development. You even get to see a bit of Alanna getting in touch with her feminine side...If you liked this book, I highly recomend the VHS/DVD Revolutionary Girl Utena series, Slayers series, and Magic Knight Rayearth series.

Summary: I love This Book
Review: Alanna has finally become a squire and is under the comand of prince Jonathan who is much more to Alanna then a prince he is her best friend (and lover) and one of the few who knows she is a girl. In this book Alanna is forced to face her fears of love and the evil Duke Roger (we all knew that was coming) Alanna is soon to find out that the king of theivs is in love her as well as prince Jonathan (this is gonna be good, I have been waiting for that to happen). She soon falls in love with Jon and faces her enimey Duke Roger I'm not saying any more or I'm going to get a lot of hate mail. But I like the facked that Alanna felling in love with Jon I can totally see them together George is not working for me sorry for those of you who want to see them togther but it just isn't working for me. Any way read the book I swear you will love it I keep finding myself runing back to my favrit parts of the book I know I'm not going to sell this one I normally don't read at all because it is very hard to get me intrested but I rate this book very high on the charts.

Summary: Point of view from a 7th grade girl
Review: In the Hand of the Goddess, the second book in the Song of the Lioness quartet, is truly a great book. It was even better than the first. I liked this book because it showed who Alanna really was. The book introduces a lot of new things like more magic, talking cats, love and much more. She earns her shield and finally defeats Duke Roger of Conte, a person she has hated ever since he came to the castle. I just couldn't put this book down.
