December 2012 - Mark Reads website is doing a chapter-by-chapter review of the Song of the Lioness (and now The Immortals) series. Reading those made me want to re-read some Tamora Pierce, so I got out my favourite Tortall series, the Protector of the Small books. Kel is my favourite Tortall heroine, she's so stoic and driven, definitely a better work ethic than I ever had.
