Written Reflection

For my fourth quarter book, I will be reading “Lioness Rampant” written by Tamora Pierce. Lioness Rampant is the fourth and final book in the series I’m reading. This book interests me because the heroine is a girl named Alanna who overcomes many obstacles while a page and squire and lasting into her knighthood. She is considered the first female knight, in the book. I love to read books where women save the day and medieval setting books. In the fourth book, the back cover states that a new challenge comes into play and must be recovered “The Dominion Jewel” which is supposedly a legendary gem with enormous power for good-but only if placed in the right hands. Also Alanna’s archenemy, Duke Roger is back from the dead and more powerful then ever. Sometimes her life might seem overly complicated and frustrating but for some reason she is able to overcome every obstacle she faces.
When I read the previous three books, they were very intense and they seemed real and vivid. It seems to me that when a book can become real, the author has really done their job by writing a best-seller. Alanna has been put in many tough situations like take for example when she was battling Duke Roger and she was revealed as a woman. Or when she had to battle a man who was part of the Bazhir tribe in order to become a real tribesman. You never really know where life will take you unless you decide to take a giant leap and await the unexpected.
