84. Song of the Lioness 2: In The Hand Of The Goddess, by Tamora Pierce.

Alanna has survived her years as a page, and is training as a squire, deception still intact. This book covers her years as a squire, her first war, and her ongoing struggles with some very prominent smiling noblemen.

After sorting my bookshelves and being thoroughly distracted by the first book of this series, I decided it had been enough years since I read them to make a reread worth my while. I chewed through this one in a similarly abrupt fashion, reacquaintancing myself with familiar characters and old friends. Much like the first book in the series, it's written for young adults and uses simple language and plot themes to get the ideas across. Lots of nostalgic value, but also a decent read, particularly if you're after something  reasonably easy to follow.
