:/ I was hoping that I would enjoy this series better than Tamora Pierce's other Tortall books, which, while entertaining, didn't enamor me, mostly because they felt like they weren't original fantasy, and because Pierce seemed ham-handed with her messages. I put that off to the fact that many of the other Tortall novels were oriented towards younger readers (around 4th grade), and because the Alana books, in particular, are older, which would've made them ahead of their time as far asSo I didn't think I would like this-- yeah, yeah, Tamora Pierce trying to make Alanna more interesting now that she's in middle age, suprise here's her kid who's just as whacky and awesome, OMGs. But seriously. She's teh awesome. And nothing like the Lioness books, which make them even better.

The writing style was fine - easy to read, nothing detracting from the story, etc. The plot was interesting and moved at a good pace (even if it was clearly part of a series and didn't really conclude, there was a nice ending). The world, while not overwhelmingly original, managed to stay far enough out of generic fantasy kingdom to be interesting (I really liked the crows).Unfortunately,
Slaves, spies and intrigue? No problem. She's George's daughter.Aly, daughter of George and Alanna, is nabbed by pirates and sold into slavery. It's totally fine, because she's got plans to escape right away, but first, a local god has a job for her: protect a family that's gotten on the bad side of an insane king. I remember reading somewhere that Tamora Pierce doesn't like Aly as much as her other characters. I can't see why. See, all her characters may have different temperaments, but while
