It's a fairly engaging school story that captures the emotional intensity of adolescence (I love how Alanna either LOVES or HATES everyone she meets). However, I didn't care for the prose (endless narrative passages! POV jumps galore!), the worldbuilding was uneven, and there were some pretty sentimental moments that didn't move me as a grown-up reader. Yet Pierce does many things very, very well in telling the now cliched story of a cross-dressing young woman training to become a warrior. Alanna herself is a very honest depiction of a woman trying to succeed in a traditionally male role. No one knows Alanna is female, but Alanna knows and is possessed by a powerful, sometimes self-destructive need to prove herself. She is haunted by fear that she's not good enough and guilt that she's lying to her friends. At the end of the day, Pierce's message is not that women can do everything men can do. It's that women can do everything men can do, but the experience of being the exceptional woman will totally suck. As an aside, it occurred to me that the cross-dressing lady warrior trope fails to address the historical experiences of cross-dressing people who didn't identify with their birth gender. Alanna is told that it's important that she not lose touch with her female identity. This is somewhat fair if she's happy identifying as a woman, but super unhelpful otherwise. By assuming that people cross-dress in order to get access to male privilege, these narratives tend to push aside the reality of transgender people in the past. (  ) raschneid | Dec 19, 2023 | * This is the best story Tamora Pierce has written, by far. If you've read other Tamora Pierce books and didn't like them, I still recommend this one to you. * While it's sold as four separate books, and each book does manage to stand on its own, they're best read together as a single long story and all at once. * Simple, straightforward style of writing. * I just love it, ok? It's not always perfect but I even love the imperfections. (  ) caedocyon | May 9, 2023 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique
