Our view
“Lioness Rampant” brings “The Song of the Lioness” to a tidy, satisfying close as Alanna of Trebond faces Duke Roger for the last time. Some readers call it the strongest of the four books: fuller, less episodic and steadier in how its characters grow. Everything is wrapped up neatly, which is part of its appeal for a younger audience. Read the three earlier volumes first; this one pays off what they set up.
