Bestselling fantasy author Tamora Pierce continues to challenge Keladry of Mindelan in her quest to become a knight. Keladry of Mindelan, 14, is a squire. A squire serves and learns from a knight for four years, then faces a final test. That final test is the Ordeal, which takes place in a magical room called the Chamber. There, a squire encounters the parts of him or herself that the Chamber deems to be the most difficult to face—fears, failings, or wicked deeds. Does Kel have what it takes to survive?
This third book of Pierce's quartet finds Keladry of Mindelan, now a tall 14-year-old, ready to begin her squire training. Chosen by the likable Lord Rauol, who promises her an exciting, if dangerous, life, she becomes a member of the King's Own and meets a variety of swashbuckling challenges that test her courage and loyalty. Bernadette Dunne has done an excellent job narrating this series. Once again, she expertly leads listeners into Pierce's carefully imagined, absorbing world, where she seems equally at home whether presenting Tortall's courtly conventions or Kel's budding sense of romance and its potential consequences. Dunne conveys all the strength, determination, and likability of Pierce's powerful young female warrior. J.C.G. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
