Our view
“Squire”, third in “Protector of the Small”, lets Kel grow up on the page in rich detail. Keladry of Mindelan continues her quest for knighthood, and some readers like that she earns it through persistence and principle, with no single arch-enemy to define her. Others find the book episodic or object to what they see as stereotyped borrowings from Japanese culture. Some return to it again and again.
