The first book of the Song of the Lioness series is absolutely adorable. It is great for anyone who likes a heroine, or any girl that is coming of age.

The novel is fantastically written, aside from the numerous typos a careless editor glossed over, and the story and characters are both interesting and assertive.

I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in fantasy--even a little bit. It is not overwhelmed with magic like many fantasies are, and almost anyone can relate to it.
