I've been trying to draft a review of this for almost a week, but I'm struggling to piece something together because I feel like I covered it all in my reviews of the first two books! The series continues much as it has been, with Kel experiencing ups and downs and learning along the way, this time as a squire. The big difference here, besides Kel truly getting her feet wet as a soldier, is that we finally have a solid romance plot. Without spoiling anything, my only complaint was that the romance felt a bit abrupt and that I didn't feel there was much build-up. Other than that, this book was amaaaazing. I finished it in one day, which I haven't had the energy or focus to do in a while!

RE-read review hehe.

I've got to say I am really enjoying this series more than I did when I was a kid. AS much as I liked this book it really did feel like episodes– one to the next, right up to the end. Honestly, I was just so happy to finally have more of Raoul. Also, Kel having her own romance thing was pretty cool and an interesting aspect.
Kel never really uses a sword, instead using her glaive which is another cool different thing which separates her from Alanna, which I am happy for. This way, one doesn't best the other since they are both great in their own ways.
