Alanna: The First Adventure

Fast and fun read. Blew through it in about a day (and got my laundry done - so I technically ‘multitasked' and I don't feel too guilty for the lazy reading day) Definitely for younger YA. Really liked the story. Alanna is a feisty young woman and driven to reach her goal of becoming a knight. In the mean time she learns many lessons and makes some good friends. This series takes place before the “Protector of the Small” series (which I've read and really enjoyed). I finished this one and immediately downloaded the 2nd in the series onto my Kindle so I could jump right in and continue the story.
