The Sword and the Lion was one of the pivotal books of my childhood. It was one of the first books I read that had a true heroine. She was strong but not perfect. She could fight but she wasn't always the best at everything. The writing was also very realistic- bad things happened and they often happened to good people. Even the romance subplot was more realistic than those I'd read before. It wasn't love at first sight and they didn't jump in bed together right after they got together. I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a long ploty fantasy novel.
