As the only female page in history to pass the first year of training to become a knight, Keladry of Mindelan is a force to be reckoned with. But even with her loyal circle of friends at her side, Kel’s battle to prove herself isn’t over yet. She is still trying to master her paralyzing fear of heights and keep up with Lord Wyldon’s grueling training schedule. When a group of pages is trapped by bandits, the boys depend on Kel to lead them to safety. The kingdom’s nobles are beginning to wonder if she can succeed far beyond what they imagined. And those who hate the idea of a female knight are getting desperate—they will do anything to thwart her progress.
My Thoughts: I love how this book series progresses. Unlike the Alanna series where she became a knight by the end of book 2, this series gives each book a different tier level. Book 1 she's on probation, book 2 she's a page, book 3 she's a squire, and book 4 she's a knight.
This gives us more in-depth about the insane amount of training and trials knights to be were put through during that time period. This book not only touches on friendship and bullying, but also facing your fears and overcoming the obstacles that can hinder you.
