This type of Book is good for... | ||
A quick read since it's level is so low but it leaves you feeling good. It is centered around a strong female protagonis and is a ood power to the women book. The plot is relatively simple and each book spans about 3 years. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
The characters, they were very complex but at the same time unrealistic. They were real enough that I could relate but that had enough distance that they seemed a greater being than me so I almost looked up to them. Alanna is someone many girls strive to be. Strong, determined, and suceeding in a male-dominated environment. I also enjoyed the style in which the book was written. It was simple so you could absorb it but complex enough to make you think. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
How much time passed within a book. It makes Alanna grow too quickly and each book seems to be over too quickly. | ||
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | ||
Go back, become a female knight, and kick some bad-people's butt!!! After each book I also wanted to cry becasue it was over. | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
Self-rightous and good about women it was self-fufilling. | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
seems really awsome and has great ideas on women's power. | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
It makes you feel good and can take you away from reality. It lets you escape from wherever you are and see everything happening. | ||
I don't recommend this Book because... | ||
It is over too quickly, everyhting goes by and you can't seem to catch it. I mean you catch it but you wish that it was longer. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
I really enjoyed this book and to the people who like fantasy/midevil stories centered around a strong woman figure, this is an ideal book! | ||
