Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. this was a fun adventure that ends as a first book in a series often used to - with nothing wrapped up and the next course of action just beginning. it was more interesting to see how alanna hid her gender from the boys than to see how they became knights, but since that was one of the main thrusts of the story this was overall pretty enjoyable for me. as it really doesn't totally stand on its own, i can't comment on the whole thing, but i can definitely see why so many women cite this as an important book series from their childhoods. ( ) I totally missed Tamora Pierce when I was a young person, so I am giving her a read now. Alanna is one of those classic young adult novels that uses the language of children's literature to tell a somewhat more mature story. 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. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
