pickNow a full and (mostly) accepted knight and shaman of the Bazhir Alanna goes off seeking adventure and forgetting that adventures equal stories and stories equal fame. She travels to the roof of the world, seeks glory for her king, has dalliances with dragons, and learn yet more techniques with both fist and blade. All of which will help her with what waits for her when she finally makes it home to the castle.
pickMy audiobook reread of my favorite childhood series is complete—Trini Alvarado narrates these books so beautifully, her voice will be Alanna‘s for me forever after this. Lioness Rampant is a satisfying conclusion to this epic series and made me excited to read the other series set in Tortall that I never got to as a kid!
so-soAn exciting conclusion to the adventures we see with Alanna, but not my favorite in the bunch. Alanna once again proves herself to be incredibly strong and determined (and to out it simply, badass). #TeamGeorge
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This final installment was definitely my favorite of the four. We got to see more of the world, &it‘s clear that though not a lot of detail was given here, this world was big &fully fleshed out in her mind-and that definitely has me interested in reading all her other series set in this same world! I thought the characters got good endings, &Alanna‘s character development felt fully realized. Definitely glad I finally found these books!
L is for Lioness Rampant, the fourth book in the excellent Song of the Lioness quartet
Not sure when I last reread this series but I‘m overdue for some Alanna time!
Had to say goodbye to a dear old friend on christmas morning. It‘s been a rough week. Frodo was 15 and had a great life, but I‘d had her since I was a kid and we are going to miss her terribly. She was one of those cats that was so smart about people that she felt more like a tiny person sometimes. She was tiny and fierce and loud and liked to cuddle under blankets and steal socks. We were lucky to have had her, but saying goodbye is hard! ❤️🐈💔
pickA great end to a fun saga that gives me the kind of heroine I like-a fiesty woman who is complex, who lives life on her own terms, and who refuses to be confined by others‘ expectations. We get to see Alanna truly become the hero she is destined to be while making friends & family worthy to have & defeating those do wrong. I also love that she learns that sometimes the greatest victories come from letting go.
pickI can't believe it's over!! Now what am I going to do with my life!?
This series sucked me in completely. I was bummed, at first, to learn this was something I could've read in my younger days, but I think the stories you need find you precisely when they mean to.
pickThis was such a good series! I even loved the ending with one exception-- *shakes fist at Tamora Pierce* How could you?! I can see how many of today's heroines in YA evolved from Alanna. Woohoo #girlpower! Now I have to wait for my holds on the next series...
Started the last book in the first series this morning--book 3 didn't have me as hooked. I'm hoping it's a strong finish.

pickSo good!!!! So thankful to my #glorytotheguild friends for getting me started on this series. I recommended it to my RL book club friends also. An end to the main Alanna story line but I look forward to more Tortall adventures! #yafantasy #adventure #swordandsorcery
“When will you learn to leave well enough alone?” “When I want to stop learning I guess.”
Fitting title to finish my challenge 💪💪💪
pickFinished the final book in the Song of the Lioness series - so delightful! Truly can't believe I missed out on this series as a kid since it would have been right up my alley. I'm a sucker for stories about women disguising themselves as men and charting their own destiny. 🤺🗡🛡🐴🐈👑✨#fantasy #womenwarriors #alanna
pickI always suggest this series to young girls. Great message and fun to read.
pickFan-freaking-tastic. I don't particularly enjoy series but I did this one and never in my life have I completed one so quickly! Alanna will forever have a place in my heart and I can't wait to continue reading about the land of Tortall.
Happy #Caturday from Sir Chester, keeper of the books.
My goal for the day is to finish Lioness Rampant and start Hunted. It's going to be a good day!
Especially after reading the afterwards I understand that Tamora Pierce was embracing the sexual revolution she witnessed for women as she herself grew up. That said, a THIRD dude? I understood the Jonathan attraction even as I never expected it to last so I was planning on George but now we have Liam?! And I like Liam, don't get me wrong, but can't she just be friends with some of these guys?
When I think of #ChillyReads, Alanna's journey to The Roof of the World is the first one that comes to mind! Such a good story! But brrr! 🌬❄️ Thank goodness for hot cocoa with peppermint mini marshmallows! A yummy way to keep the chill at bay!

Nothing gets me out of a reading funk better than re-reading my favorites and it doesn't get any better than Tamora Pierce's Tortall Universe. #SongoftheLioness #Tortall #Re-read
I love this series so much. I will never grow tired of reading it. #bookstagram #bookdragon #songofthelionessquartet #lionessrampant #tamorapierce
