This is the third book in the "Protector of the Small" quartet by Tamora Pierce. Longer than the first two, this book is much better than its predecessors. In this installment, Keladry has been chosen by Raoul of Goldenlake as a squire. Given that Raoul is commander of the King’s Own, Kel is involved in many battles\/raids and political intrigue.<\/p>\n

Pierce has a way of relating the most mundane of things to the store, giving it a touch of realism. For example, when Kel is called away with no notice due to a raid, she quickly grabs some rags as she has just started her period. That’s it.
