Quote #10

A week ago she would have told him to pick Geoffrey or Douglass. But she had not been to the Black City then. She had not proved to the Ysandir that a girl could be one of the worst enemies they would ever face. (7.259)

By the very end of the book, Alanna is feeling a lot more confident about herself. She was going tell Jonathan to pick someone else for his squire, but now she realizes that she is a totally rockin' candidate despite the fact that she's a girl. Aw. Our little girl is all grown up.
