Summary

Keladry serves as a response to Alanna. You would think having a successful knight like the Lioness would open more doors for female heroes in the world of Tortall, but you would be wrong. Though the critique that Kel brings to the table in interesting, the level of perfection and judgement that she holds herself to makes her hard to take at times.

Good

The creepy evil mage
Not all villains need to be evil overlords
Character development for everyone
Neil. The best best friend ever
Tamora Pierce breaks her pattern
You get to see the aftermath of all the previous stories
Kel serves as a good response to Alanna

Bad

King Jonathan is a jackass
Kel is a bit hard to take at times
Kel is very judgemental
