THE WOMAN WHO RIDES LIKE A MAN

Trini Alvarado maintains diverse accents and large numbers of characters in this production, the third volume in the Song of theLioness quartet. Alvarado differentiates between the characters, adding stronger emotions as the plot requires without merely relying on a shift in volume. Alanna of Trebond, now a knight, was forced to leave the castle after a duel led to the death of her greatest enemy and the revelation of her gender. Only by joining a Bahzir tribe as its first female warrior and shaman can she work to change the traditions of the tribe and all of Tortall. E.J.F.
