Recently I found most of this series in a bargain-bin at my local library – they were clearing them out, shame on them! Their loss was my gain and for about $1.50 I had three quarters of the series. At that point, I would have happily joined the excited teens clutching books and eager to see Ms. I kind of dismissed it as fluff at the time, but was eventually persuaded by a co-worker to pick up the series a few years later (at another bookstore). I forget that these are people who enjoy escapist fiction for a reason). Having never heard of her, I was mildly amused to see dozens of teenage (and some post-teenage) girls pack in to see a mild-mannered middle age woman discuss a series of fantasy books she had written (I don’t know why, but I always expect fantasy authors to look more dramatic, or toned. Years ago when I was working at a bookstore as a cashier, I worked an in-store event where she appeared. In order, the books are: Alanna, In the Hands of the Goddess, The Woman Who Rides Like a Man, and Lioness Rampant. This is one of my old favourites – the Alanna quartet by Tamora Pierce.
