"This is the 4th and last book in the Lioness Rampant series. Alanna has set out to the roof of the world, where the Diminon Jewl, a magical gem that in the hands of the right ruler can lead a country to a prosperis year. Alanna has never liked cold, and the roof of the world is very, very cold. But Alanna must prove to all the other nobles that she a woman can fight as well as any man."
"An excellent end to the series. Though we later see Alanna and her friends in the other Tortall series, it was excellent to have this reference.
I liked how fast paced this book was. All the loose ends were tied up nicely. And even though in the end there were some heartbreaking losses, I liked it a lot. Alanna truly became the hero she set out to be and she didn't compromise for it. She found a balance between a need for love and family and her need to have adventures.
I also really enjoy that Pierce does not constantly remind the reader of what happened in previous books. These books were made to be read together and the entire series is an easy transition."
"This is a good series of books for girl readers. It has a strong female hero who realizes that she can be strong as any man and still experience the joy of being a young woman. The thing I liked about this series is that it put both sexes on an equal basis. It wasn't like the Twilight series where the female protagonist finally became strong in the last book and could rely on her own abilities. It has magic, adventure and love which keeps the readers interest. A good series."
"It's kind of impossible for me to describe the impact Alanna had on me as a young girl. She taught me that people will most often find your paralysing rage "cute" rather than intimidating, and she sparked a lifelong desire to have a talking cat with purple eyes. I generally consider the Immortals quartet as my favourite but Alanna definitely had the most impact on me. I re-read either this or the Immortals probably once a year and if I ever have a daughter this will be required reading...more It's kind of impossible for me to describe the impact Alanna had on me as a young girl.
