Summary
"Thom and Alan of Trebond,” Coram told the guard who motioned for them to halt. “They’re here to begin their service at Court.”
The guard glanced over the three travelers. Alanna could hear her heart beating in her ears, so strong it must be visible through her clothes. This was the first test. Would the people at the palace see through her? Or would they, like the innkeepers on the road, see short hair and a boy’s name and not think further?
The guard stepped back. “Welcome to the palace,” he said, and let them in.
Directed by the Gods, Maude sends both Thom and Alanna to page training.

Summary
"Everyone knew that the King’s Champion was a woman now. She’d heard three variations on the story, but everyone agreed that she’d started as a little girl, binding her chest and cutting her hair to disguise herself as a boy. She’d been a child then, and noble to boot. Asha had never met a noble, but she got the impression from the way people talked that they mostly sat around ordering other people to do real work for them. As if by magic, here was the solution that would make everyone happy. Ma and Da could stop their worrying, Leyla would stay in the shop where she belonged, and Asha wouldn’t be marooned on Staffast for the rest of her life, staring out a window while sticking her fingers with needles."

Look. Sometimes you binge all of the Tortall books, and then you get violently depressed about there not being more, and then you do your level best to create a book in the same universe that scratches the same itch. Behold! 100k words about sailing and piracy in the land of Tortall, written by someone with exactly zero knowledge of either! You too may now enjoy the story of someone trying to do what Alanna did, but worse and on a boatBookmarked by Athilda
