Format:Hardcover
This book was a good read from the moment I opened it. 'Lady Knight' follows the exciting adventures of the heroine Keladry in the first year of her knighthood while at war with a neighbouring country. Keladry is a worthy heroine through her qualities of bravery and responsibility, which makes her a likeable lead. Keladry's genuine liking and respect for others earns her assistance and high regard from all who know her. Many characters from previous Tortall books help Keladry along in her quest and add flashes of humour. This book is possibly the darkest of Tamora Pierce's books, yet it is my favourite of all of the books set in Tortall.

I have been waiting for this book to come out for ages and read it within hours of getting it. The book starts a bit slow though then it develops to include chases and battle action. There is also a change from the other books in the quartet as this book focuses less on Kel as a person and more on the events that take place. However unlike Squire (which still remains my favorite from this quartet) we do get to see more of Kel's old page friends like Neal, Merric and Owen. We also get little snippets of characters from the Alanna quartet like Buke Baird, Alanna, Raoul and Numair and Daine from the immortals quartet. This was a really good book though i think that Tamora Pierce has written better.

Great book, excellent service
An excellent book about ambition in a time where ambition was experienced by the men of the word. Glad it came when it did.
Published 8 months ago by N.Ali

this book has the same feel as squire, but is a bit predictable. tamora also doesn't give kel a man at the end which is a disapointment compared to her other books. Read more

Great end to the Quartet!
This was a great book. It made me laugh, cry and want to hit some very large things in annoyance.

Wonderful, but not her best piece of writing
I, like many others waited for ages for this book, which I consider to be a suitible ending to the quartet. However, it lacked Tamora's usual writing flair... Read more
