I also have to add a disclaimer to my post. I love Tamora Pierce, she was a huge influence on my love fantasy. I read all the Tortall books until Trickersters Choice, which I didn't like, although for just what reason I don't recall. For that reason I've actually steered clear of her books sense, leaving them in the realm of nastolga.
That being said, I loved going back to Tortall after nearly a decade, loved how it tied in to the Lioness Quartet. It was built very much like I remember the first book in each of her Tortall Quartets going. Light hearted and learning the job.
I was disappointed here and there. Beka is pretty draft as Kayte mentioned. As a reader I'm not a fan of picking up the end of the book 200 pages before I get there. I also felt it less a medium of journal than it ought to have been as a journal.
Overall I did enjoy reading it.
