Prince Jonathan is not only Alanna's liege lord, he is also her best friend—and one of the few who knows the secret of her true identity. But when a mysterious sorcerer threatens the prince's life, it will take all of Alanna's skill, strength, and magical power to protect him—even at the risk of revealing who she really is...

Grades 5-8--Alanna of Trebond continues her masquerade as Alan in this, the second book in the Song of the Lioness quartet by Tamora Pierce (Random, 1990). The story spans Alanna's fours years as Prince Jonathan's squire. During this time, Alanna participates in her first war, battles against Jonathan's evil uncle, Duke Roger, meets the Great Mother Goddess and experiences first love, all the while maintaining her guise as a boy. Actress Trini Alvardo perfectly captures the essence of Alanna by giving her the uncertainty of a girl on the verge of womanhood combined with the steel determination and strength of a squire preparing for the battle to become a knight. Alvarado uses slight changes in her voice to vividly give life to a large cast of characters. While familiarity with the first book in the series, Alanna: The First Adventure (Random, 1983), will enhance this story, it is by no means necessary. Add this timeless story to collections where magic, adventure, and strong female characters are in demand.

the best of the quartet.
By Everything WILL be all right
This is my favorite book of the alanna series. I am 18 and recieved this series around nine or ten years ago. And yes, when I am bored, I will still pick up the books and reread them, that is how much I love them. For all the reviewers saying these are simplistic, yes, they aren't on the level of the classics, say other female authors I have read such as the bronte sisters or jane austen, BUT, they aren't meant to be! They are wonderful, funny, intelligent books with a strong female heroine, and teach girls that we can be anything we want to be.
Don't listen to all the indignant soccer moms out there screaming that Alanna is er... promiscous (sp?). She has two love interests in this book, and there are no sex scenes! It is implied, thats all. This is no "bodice ripper" or porn, as some idiots have insinuated. When I first read the books, the fact that alanna and jon started sleeping together went completly over my head.
Bottom line is these books are some of my absolute favorites, along with her wild magic and keladry series (I never got into the circle of magic books.) I think every girl should read these books (and boys too! unfortunatly most I know won't)

Alanna's Adventures As A Squire Continue
By Erika Sorocco
SONG OF THE LIONESS: BOOK II - IN THE HAND OF THE GODDESS, takes us through three-years of Alanna of Trebond's life, from her fifteenth birthday, through her eighteenth.
Alanna is still disguised as a boy, with few people knowing her true identity. She has claimed the duty of being Squire to Prince Jonathan, her lord and best friend. Jonathan knows Alanna's secret, and vows to keep it just that, in an attempt to help her win her knight's shield. However, now a mysterious sorcerer has come out in an attempt to attack the prince. Alanna knows that it is up to her as the prince's squire and best friend, to protect him from the sorcerer by using her magical powers, and learned strengths and skills that will keep him safe from harm, even if, by doing so, her true identity is revealed to those around her.
I could never imagine myself enjoying books about a girl trying to become a knight, but I find myself hungrily devouring Tamora Pierce's SONG OF THE LIONESS books one by one at record speed. Each one leaves me on the edge of my seat, and unable to close the book until I am completely done with them. IN THE HAND OF THE GODDESS is no acception. I enjoyed Alanna's personality even more in this installment in the quartet than in the first one, ALANNA: THE FIRST ADVENTURE. It was wonderful to see Alanna embracing her feminine side, yet, at the same time, holding tight to her feisty side. I also enjoyed that we were able to meet her twin brother better, and learn a bit more about him. Pierce has outdone herself with this series, and will find new fans, young and old, grappling to read about the amazing adventures that her characters face in each installment. A wonderful book that will be loved by all.

A Warning: Be Careful What You Wish For
By Juliet
I am giving this book 4 stars because it was really excellent. Most of this review is a warning though about what is in it. Don't take this the wrong way. Just read it and try to understand where I am coming from. This was a wonderful book filled with excitment and romance. I was a very advanced reader and read the books at a very small age thrwoing the books at the wall after reading them because I was confused why the books ended the way they did. Now that I am older I have come to an understanding which has opened my eyes. When I was younger I brought the book to camp and lent them to my friends who read them in a week. We sat on the bus sighing as we read the romantic parts to each other all squished up into one bus seat so that we could hear the reader. Here is what I am saying to parents, kids, and anyone else who is wondering about this book.
I know some girls who thought that the adventure ws nothing and skimmed the book looking for romance. Let me tell you, you will miss a lot. Alanna's adventures show her strength as a female. Although, (please don't hate me for this) it is true that when Jon finds out that she is a girl in the first book, he starts to treat her like he would a woman, weak. She gratefully accepts his strong arm around her waist when they're riding along, she strains herself healing and he steers her out, and Jon holds her head for support while she's throwing up. Think about it, is she being treated equally? And although her friends know not of her womanhood, she is the one who gets extra care in the group. Perhaps because she is the smallest? But isn't that why women were treated lesser in society? Perhaps weaker? But she has proven herself against that. Alanna can fend for herself.
Now, about the romance. Whether you read it or not should be based on maturity level not necessarily age. Although, I have too much of a lack of experience to judge what age is probably right. I could use myself as an example, but I am unique as is everyone. Although the romance is sweet, there is more to it. When Jonathan tries to unlace Alanna's bodice and she runs away in fright, she thinks Jon will go to Delia. He doesn't and comes back, and now Alanna feels sure that he only wants her. Doesn't it seem as if he is forcing her, or if not encouraging her, to go to bed with him. Now, of course it's natural to encourage but his place of authority over her (being that he's the Prince) may have made her feel pressured. It also says in the book that every night Jon "teaches her about love?" By sleeping with her? Can't anyone in teen books have a good relationship without getting that serious? This is another "action withought consequence" book. No charm will "ward of pregnancy!" Not even a condom is a magical charm, problems occur and things go wrong.
Now, don't think that your getting this from some adult who doesn't understand why teens feel they can read this book. I am only 13 and writing this review in one of my scarce moments of sanity (quick before the hormones take over!) I love this book, with all my heart I truly do. This review was not a "Trash Tamora Pierce" fest. There is so much wonder, and excitment in this book. Unfortunetly my review is too long to add anything. This was just a warning. Not to parents, or teachers, or librarians. But to the teens who want to read this book. By all means read it, it is a plentiful liteature (maybe not the best) but still good. I am just saying, be careful what you wish for.
