did feel there were things lacking here but only a little bit.For starters I still think these books are way too short for what they are high fantasy adventures There s no room for world building which is a shame because the world the author has created here has a lot of potential to be as intriguing and mysterious as Middle Earth Here we get introduced to a goddess which we have no backstory on whatsoever and no hints on how the belief system in this world works We also meet a purple eyed cat who is also special in the eyes of the goddess but we have no idea why Will we find out in later books I m sure going to find out.In this book the time for our MC passes very quickly with her turning from young teenager to young adult in not many pages Once again I will say I liked all the adventure and thrills these books have to offer ...I was looking at the cover of my library copy of this book before I started it, and saw that on my edition, Alanna is pictured with a black cat on her shoulder Remembering how delightfully full of wish fulfillment the first book was, I thought to myself, Oh, she gets a cat in this one I bet it s a magic cat I bet it talks I was joking But I was totally right Alanna not only acquires a talking cat who also has purple eyes, natch , a deity swoops down to personally give Alanna a magic nec I was looking at the cover of my library copy of this

first book in the series moved quickly In the Hand of the Goddess moves even faster, flying right through the rest of Alanna s training and ending soon after she graduates This means that sometimes an entire year takes up only a few chapters, and the lengthy timeline means that the book can sometimes feel like just a str...Im having a little hard time progressing with this book In the first place, I chose this book because I was looking for a bad ass female character and because of the good reviews However, Im having troubles liking Alanna And the story itself Why Because in one chapter she is 13 year old, in the next one, 15 year old and so on She starts being Jonathans lover when Im still picturing her as a child, for Gods sake Another thing why dont like her is because...What happened I ve read several of Tamora Pierce s books, but had not read the Song of the Lioness quartet and thought it time I start I enjoyed the first book, Alanna The First Adventure I liked Alan, nee Alanna, in her single minded determinedness and her unawareness of self and the effect she had on others I liked the supporting characters It was light, pleasant and fun so I was eager to read the second book,
