My review for The First Adventure
Rating:
5 / 5
My Review for The First Adventure.
Allana always wanted to be a knight. In The First Adventure, the 1st in The Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce, she started her journey to knighthood, just not as she thought it would happen. This is a story of friendship, loyalty, & going that extra mile to achieve the impossible. I enjoyed the first adventure very much. It is well thought out & easy to follow. I invite YOU to enjoy it also.
Allana, Prince Jonathan, & Roger, who is the king of thieves, are the main characters of the book. The main part of the story is about Allana the Lioness. She is the main character. The book covers the time Allana the Lioness served as a page, or the first stage of becoming a knight. It also talks about the friends she had met along the way.
Prejudice, friendship, & perseverance are a few of the many themes of the book. Here & there humor is thrown into the book, lightening the overall tone of the book. The themes are all very clear. There are many themes, but the main theme is friendship. All of the different themes make this a fun & enjoyable book.
The story takes place in the Kingdom of Tortall. The time era that this book takes place in, the medieval era, makes the book very interesting & unique. The setting is very accurate. Tamora Pierce makes the setting fun & believable. This makes the book enjoyable to read.
I liked The First Adventure very much. It is fun & exiting, & well thought out & easy to read. If you like stories of adventure, friendship, & perseverance, this book is for you. The First Adventure is very detailed & I hope you enjoy it as much as I had.

YES! A book with rulers. No, not the rectangle shaped school supply that help you measure. The ruler lets to much freedom. Where area the peasants?! Anyways, a girl wouldn't be confident on disguising herself into a boy!! No one has done it at her time so I wouldn't be to sure if I were her. If I was the king, I would just order Alanna's execution because I'm not that stupid! I can tell if she's a boy or not by listening to the voice and maybe check the crotch...
I love this book

First, let me say that Tamora Pierce is a very talented writer. But, like all writers, she has made very good acomplishments in her career as an author, and has made very bad publishments where, let me say, the bomb is dropped!
But, luckily, this is not the case for Alanna: The First Adventure. This books just makes readers enter the world of Alanna, a young girl born into this world wanting to become a knight, something that no other woman has undertaken before. So Alanna trades places with her twin brother and pretends to be a boy to get accepted into the royal palace to begin her training. Little did the king and queen know that the violet-eyed "lad" would change the whole course of the future of Tortall!
This action packed book just makes you cheering for more and what Alanna will do next!! Whenever I'm bored with waiting for some book to come out, I always return back to the Alanna Series!! I love this book and the whole series!! I'm suggesting this book to everyone!
