Re-reading Protector of the Small. Kel's not my baby, and these books aren't the Tortallan ones I'm passionately in love with, but heavens above are they lovable. They're the safest safe space I can imagine - and I adore the way that the politics come closer and closer in each iteration of this 'verse. We went from Alanna's non-western cultures to Daine's arguments against slavery to Kel's - well, at this point the warring political factions are the conservatives and the progressives, so that's actually a bit beyond transparent! *schnorgles these books*
