	Dani Zweig's Unnumbered Reviews #4: "Song of the Lioness", by Tamora Pierce
		Tamora Pierce's "Song of the Lioness" tetralogy (****-, on an uncalibrated four-point scale) is easily one of the best juvenile fantasies of the past decade.
		(The Bazhir, modelled upon generic pseudo-Arab tribesmen, represent the worst failure of imagination in Pierce's world-building.) First captured and then adopted by a Bazhir tribe, Alanna finds herself in a time, between adventures, during which she must confront her goals and self-identity.
		Pierce is currently writing another series in the same setting.
