The Woman Who Rides Like A Man (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (Song of the Lioness (Prebound)) Review
Book 3 in the Song of the Lioness series
An excellent third book in the series which moves away from the court of Tortall and sees Alanna, now a recognised knight and revealed as a woman, encountering the Bazhir. The Bazhir are a proud people who do not traditionally value women as warriors but who accept Alanna as one of them.
This book explores the rights of people from different backgrounds as well as expanding upon the rights of women. It becomes easier to identify with Alanna as she deals with her bad temper but has to learn to fit in even whilst she maintains her individual identity.
Girls of all ages and backgrounds will find encouragement here to learn to fit in yet also find out who they are.

best series by a wonderful author - LibKat - Cape Cod, MA
I read Tamora Pierce years ago and loved her books. I was so glad to see that she started writing again b/c all of her new books are great. However, her original Alanna series will always remain my favorite b/c the characters are so original and the story is so intriguing.
What's Alanna to do? - -
In Alanna's 3rd book, she becomes a Bazhir shaman. Not only that, but she doesn't know whom to pledge her love to. Jon or George? Who will it be?
love it - Megan Altorfer - Gresham, OR USA
I first read this book a long time ago in middle school and I still have the full series both Lioness and the Immortals they are no joke bound with duck tape because over the last 11 years or so I have read them soo many times that they are indeed falling apart and I just had to replace my In the Realm of the Gods copy because half the book fell out. Once my kids get a little bit bigger these books will be read to them and I hope that when they get even older that they will pick up these books and read them over and over again like I did!
