Tamora Pierce
The stunning conclusion to the New York Times bestselling series from the fantasy author who is a legend herself: TAMORA PIERCE. Victory is not always what it seems.Keladry of Mindelan has finally achieved her lifelong dream of becoming a knight—but it’s not quite what she imagined. In the midst of a brutal war, Kel has been assigned to oversee a refugee camp. She’s sure it’s because Lord Wyldon still doesn’t see her as equal to the men. Nevertheless, she’s learning the importance of caring for people who have been robbed of their homes, wealth, and self-respect. Perhaps this battle is as important as the war with Scanra? When Kel has a vision of the man behind the horrific killing devices that her friends are fighting without her, will she honor her sworn duty . . . or embark on a quest that could turn the tide of the war?More timely than ever, the Protector of the Small series is Anti-Bullying 101 while also touching on issues of bravery, friendship, and dealing humanely with refugees against a backdrop of an action-packed fantasy adventure."Tamora Pierce's books shaped me not only as a young writer but also as a young woman.

MAAS, #1 New York Times bestselling author"Tamora Pierce didn't just blaze a trail. Her heroines cut a swath through the fantasy world with wit, strength, and savvy. Her stories still lead the vanguard today. Pierce is the real lioness, and we're all just running to keep pace."—LEIGH BARDUGO, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"I cannot recommend the first three books in this series enough, but this book takes a wildly angular turn in vibe, content, and growth arc. I was never able to finish it - it goes from a feel good story rooting on a character who is flawed but worth believing in, has noble goals, , etc and watching her grow and develop@into a deeply creepy and somewhat strange piece. Read with your guard up."
"Im so sorry. I meant to save this... I am excited to start this book."

"The last installment in the Protector of the Small series, and another chapter in the Tortall Universe. Kel has done it. She passed the trials and has been knighted as a knight of the realm of Tortall. However war has broken out, and her realm is on the brink of disaster. Joined with her friends, Kel has been sent on a mission to stop the evil threatening the balance of life. Unfortunately she only has a name and a face- and multitudes who rely on her to remain trapped behind the borders."
"This one’s a 4 book series! I couldn’t find them listed all together. I LOVE Tamora’s books within this universe that she created. "

"Pros:<br/><br/>I appreciate the parallels between this book and Lioness Rampant. I also like that some of the things aren’t repeated. I don’t want to give spoilers so I will just say not another Faithful.<br/><br/>Cons:<br/><br/>In some ways this book always feels like a let down to me. It isn’t poorly written, it fits with the storyline. It just feels fast and unfinished. If you compare it to Lioness Rampant it would be like ending the book with Alanna getting the jewel and setting off for Tortall."
