[Lestrade]

I read Protector of the Small or whatever it was called, liked it fairly well though I didn't love it, and then tried to read the Alanna books and kinda hated them. She wrote those first so it's possible her writing got better as she went, maybe some of the later ones are better >.>

I sometimes get the feeling Pierce is trying too hard to make strong female characters at the expense of the male characters, though.
