Kel has finally achieved her lifelong dream of being a knight. But it's not turning out as she imagined at all. She is torn between a duty she has sworn to uphold and a quest that she feels could turn the tide of war.

Unrelentingly realistic in its depiction of the horrors of war, Pierce provides exquisite details of the weaponry, topography, and culture of her world, and her control of a voluminous cast of characters is masterful.

Would you consider the audio edition of Lady Knight to be better than the print version?

My father gave me the first of the "Protector of the Small" series when I was in 3rd grade and getting bullied. Twelve years later, it is a series that I returned to fondly. These are children's books, but well written ones that speak of morality and justice. Kel is a great protagonist, and this would be an excellent series for any feisty ten year olds to start reading or listening to.


What do you think the narrator could have done better?

That being said, I don't like the narrator much. Her voice for Kel, an eighteen year old knight, is infantile. Dunne's narration doesn't sound natural - she emphasizes odd sentences and her voice isn't as elegant as some of the other narrators I've heard on Audible.

That being said, her narration isn't a hindrance, it's just not my first choice.

Great Book, Not-So-Great Narrator

Very good ending to the Small Quartet. All the voice actors were filled with life and vigor. I recommend all of Tamora Pierce's audiobooks. Start with Alanna's Adventure. Enjoy!

Definitely Listen!!!

Where does Lady Knight rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Compared to Outlander, it is mediocre. However, I really like Tamora Pierce. She brings me back into my childhood. Additionally, I love the message she brings that everyone should be accepted as who they are and that girls can kick ass.

Would you recommend Lady Knight to your friends? Why or why not?

If they just want a good fantasy story I would recommend this book. If they are really into highly descriptive and high vocabulary novels I would not recommend this book.

Excellent childrens book, tireing for adults

My favorite series of all. I've read and listened to them several times now. I just adore Kel and all her friends and animals. Her humble attitude and her plain compassion. And the fact that she is just simply human with a fantastic fate. No bells and whistles needed. When I first got to her series, I was afraid it wouldn't be the same without magics and god touches. But she is amazing and there is just enough magic in the characters and animals around her to satisfy anyone! I aspire to be more like Kel!

Of all Tamora's protagonists thus far, Kel is the one i wish I'd read about when i was younger! The conclusion to this quartet was perfectly written and narrated.

The girl I wish I'd known when i was a girl.
