3 Stars/5
Kelladry conquered her fears in the Chamber, and has been
made a Lady Knight. War has been
declared on the Scanarans, and Kelladry’s first assignment is as the commander
of a refugee camp. She is also in charge of her friend, Neal and lots of
civilians and criminals serving out their sentences as labourers and soldiers
on the front lines. She gains a new servant, Tobe, a young boy she befriends.
When the “Killing Devices” descend upon her camp and kill or capture most of
the inhabitants, Kelladry must follow them and fulfil her destiny as Protector
of the Small.
Kelladry has developed more as a character in this book,
and you get to see some of the characters who in earlier books were seen as
older, and therefore infallible, in a new light. Through Kelladry’s eyes she can
see that those she looks up to are not omnipotent and are making the best
decisions that they can.
In this book you get to see some of the rest of the
Tortallean world, and get to see that not all Scanarans are evil, and many are
acting out of fear.
I would recommend Tamora Pierce’s books to anyone who
likes young adult fantasy which isn’t too dark and heavy.
