Book Reviews of Lady Knight

Book Review: "Lady Knight"- No romance for our hero...
Summary: 2 Stars

The series started out great, but from the beginning what bothered me was, ho-hum, no romance, sure Kel developed a crush on Neal, not that it ever turned into anything. But the story witheld my interest long enough for "Squire" the third book in the sereis. Well, I loved it! There was just as much, if not more action, than the first two books, all while Kel's romance with Cleon was blossoming into something wonderful and true. Then, comes Lady Knight. I personally was very excited to read it. Well, when Cleon walked in during supper one night, I just smiled because I was glad that our heroine would now have him back after over a year without him. WRONG. Cleon moreorless 'broke-up' with Kel, and she was GLAD about it, because or else she feared that she would have to tell him herself. After the romance died, so did the rest of the story. Sure the action scenes were great, but without the assurance that if Kel did get hurt during battle she would have Cleon (not just her other friends) to worry about her, I was overall disappointed. Our poor Keladry, a lady knight with no love....

Summary of Lady Knight

Book 4 of the Protector of the Small series

A New York Times Bestseller

Keladry of Mindelan has finally become a knight -- but it's not what she had imagined. With Tortall at war with the Scanrans, Keladry is overseeing a refugee camp. To add to her burden, Kel has had a vision in the Chamber -- a vision she believes could help turn the tide of the war.

An Accelerated Reader® title for ages 12 and up.


In the final thrilling installment of Tamora Pierce's Protector of the Small series ( First Test, Page, and Squire), our sturdy young heroine, Keladry of Mindelan (a.k.a. Kel), has finally been knighted. Never one to rest on her laurels, Kel champs at the bit, ready to tackle the horrific magic killing devices she was shown in the Chamber of the Ordeal during her knighthood initiation. The huge, insectlike machines, "made of iron-coated giants' bones, chains, pulleys, dagger-fingers and -toes, and a long whiplike tail," feed on the souls of dead children and are systematically killing off the citizens and warriors of Tortall.

Thoroughly disgusted to discover that not only is she not going to be assigned a combat post, but she has been placed in charge of a refugee camp instead, Kel, in her usual noble, stoic way, swallows her disappointment and sets out being the best refugee camp commander possible. Of course, destiny has a way of sneaking up on a young woman like Kel, and soon she is fulfilling the ordeal the Chamber set out for her... and then some.

Tamora Pierce once again draws her legions of fans into her story, blending humor, pathos, exhilarating battles, and gripping drama with a very real, very appealing protagonist. It's easy to make war appear black and white, a matter of good versus evil. Pierce finds the shades of gray. (Ages 12 and older) --Emilie Coulter
