In the Hand of the Goddess (Song of the Lioness, bk 2)

In the Hand of the Goddess (Song of the Lioness, bk 2), by Tamora Pierce; young adult, fantasy; 288 pages

The characters do a lot of growing up in this book, and from an adult standpoint, that made this book more interesting to me. It felt like this book could have been the conclusion to a series, rather than the second of four, which really makes me look forward to the final two volumes. Really good, overall, and looking forward to the next book!
