Title: Even better than the first volume
Review: "Page" the second book in "Protector of the Small" continues the story of Keladry of Mindalen, as she progresses in her studies as the first openly female page in Tortall. Now that her year of probation is over, Keladry is a full-fledged page. Unfortunately, the harassment hasn't stopped yet, but does slow down as she demonstrates her abilities again and again.Some new characters appear, Owen, a younger page with a strong case of hero worship, and Lalasa, a young palace servant whom Keladry hires to protect from ill-treatment. Nice to know Keladry hasn't slackened on her ongoing quest to protect those around her from bullies. One minor point: I still find myself wondering what happened to Princess Kalysin? Wasn't she going to become a knight? But, that aside, this is a terrific book, and one point, toward the end, nearly reduced me to tears! I look forward to Tamora Pierce's next offering.
