Song of the Lioness: The Woman Who Rides Like a Man is a very fun book. Alanna's story coninues in this quick, but amazing tale. Alanna is patrolling the Great Southern Desert, she is attacked with Coram, but she is taken to the Bazhir's Bloody Hawk tribe. She kills the leader, the shaman Akhnan Ibn Nazzir, and becomes the shaman herself. She must raise a new shaman. She trains Kourrem, Ishak, and Kara, Kourrem and Kara are girls. Before Alanna, there haven't been any female shamans. Kourrem and Kara would be perfect. Ishak is somewhat egotistical. Who will turn out the best?


Alanna's love continues with Jonathan and George. Jonathan proposes to her for marriage. However, she is not sure he wants her for the right reasons. Will she accept or deny? Also, Alanna must deal with her love for George. Who will she choose?


This book kept me going for a long time. I read it in a few hours, but I liked it a lot. Alanna has grown up and must deal more so than ever, taking responsiblity for her actions. Song of the Lioness: The Woman Who Rides Like a Man is recommended for young adult girls who like fantasy!
