When we started out in First Test, Keladry was a little girl aspiring to train as a knight. Page, which covered three years, took her through puberty. Now Squire, covering her four years of training as a squire under Sir Raoul of Goldenlake of the King's Own, she grows into a young woman looking anxiously to facing the Chamber of the Ordeal to become the first Lady Knight in a century other than Alanna "the Lioness." I liked many of the supporting players, especially her mentor Raoul and I liked her romantic interest in this book and I flat out love Keladry, who doesn't depend on magic but sheer force of character to make it through. She's the anti-Bella and I love her for it.
