From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8-Listeners will be thrilled by this final episode of the Song of the Lioness quartet by Tamora Pierce (Random, pap. 1997). In this series that began with Alanna: The First Adventure (Atheneum, 1983), the lioness reaches the height of her power. As the first female knight in the mythical country of Tortall, Alanna sets out to find the powerful Dominion Jewel in the hope that she can save her war-torn nation from disaster. As always, Alanna is stunning in battle and wise in her deeds. It's no wonder she has many suitors vying for her hand in marriage. Can the lioness be tamed? Listeners will be guessing right up to the exciting conclusion. The production, narrated by actress Trini Alvarado, smoothly weaves dramatic reading and Pierce's outstanding fantasy. Alvarado's even pacing perfectly matches the crisp tone of the book, which reads and feels like great historical fiction. Her performance will have listeners believing that Tortall really existed and that the bards truly sang about Alanna's prowess on the battlefield. While this fourth offering will stand on its own, listeners will beg to hear (all available from Listening Library) or read previous titles, including In the Hand of the Goddess (Atheneum, 1984) and The Woman Who Rides Like a Man (Atheneum, 1986). A thoroughly enjoyable listening experience guaranteed to enthrall a host of new fans to Pierce's enchanting saga.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Lioness Quartet Disappointing, Mars 20 2004
Par Cate Rinne (San Diego CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Tamora Pierce is so often hailed for her use of strong female characters that I simply had to check this one out. I was greatly disapointed. Tamora Pierce needs to learn that character strength and perfection are not one in the same. How is Alanna, beautiful, talented, and nearly flawless, serve as a good role model for young women? She is simply not a realistic character. Yes she can ride and fight and perform magic better than most men, while at the same time being very beautiful, clever, and likeable. However, her dependance on men throughout the quartet is not a good model for girls to follow, and her inaccessability as a character makes it hard for girls to relate to her. Readers in search of strong female characters will find that strength is found not in beauty, perfection, and a volatile temper but in the realistic characters found in books written by Terry Pratchett, or even JK Rowling, a writer often criticized (even by Pierce herself) for neglecting female characters. Rowling and Pratchett's strong females are in women who are far from perfect in the eyes of society, and yet are able to think clearly and bravely in a crisis. Perhaps Hermione, for example, is not stunningly beautiful and can shoot a bow better than any man, but her independance, strength, and intelligence are better role-models for girls than the unrealistic and slightly promiscuous Alanna.

2.0étoiles sur 5 "Lioness Rampant" Very Disappointing Book, Mars 9 2004
Par Beth England (Arlington, VA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
"Lioness Rampant" was the final book of the Alanna of Trebond quartet. I would not recommend this book to anyone because I thought that it was very frustrating and disappointing. The plot line in the beginning of this novel was wonderful, and there were many creative characters that seemed to come to life. Unfortunately, the ending ruined everything.
The entire plot line led up to one final scene at the end where the reader would expect Alanna to fight her ultimate enemy in a one on one battle. Instead the enemy is killed in an anticlimactic scene by his own stupidity, and Alanna loses three of her very close friends in battle. To top it all off, she doesn't marry the man that she had been best friends with since she was 11 and romantically involved with during her older years at the knight school, which I found particularly aggravating.
I am the kind of person who likes a happy ending because I believe that novels are read only for enjoyment, so if sad endings do not bother you, you would probably thoroughly enjoy this book.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Great book, Mars 3 2004
Par Un client
This is a great book.It was my favorite, with more adventure,love,and suspense.I couldn't put it down.Alanna has more excitment hunting the Domain Jewel, while making freinds in Sarin (including the dragon).Coming home to Corus to find things very diferent, and meeting old friends.With all the excitment of the Corination it is very interesting, but saddening.She also accepts a porposal.Brovo, tamora. It was great.
