Our view

“Lady Knight” closes the “Protector of the Small” quartet on a satisfying high. Kel, now a knight, is a heroine without special gifts who gets where she is through stubborn effort, and readers come to admire her. Some readers add that the quartet began slowly and found its strength in the last two volumes.
