I'm so in love with this whole series. Alanna is about as badass at they come, and this last book doesn't disappoint. It's been wonderful watching her grown and mature, and it all comes together in this book. She's not just an accomplished knight, she's an accomplished woman, and an accomplished person. Even the way this series deals with sex and relationships is brilliant. It's very straight-forward, without taking over the story or being too graphic. Although this book does have a bit of a love triangle, it doesn't feel like she's been destined for one person through the whole series, and it doesn't feel like she has to pick between two or three suitors. It just feels...natural.
