ive been rereading the Protector of the Small series by Tamora Pierce and just finished Squire. I love the difference between Kel and Alanna, but what hits me the most is that Kel had a nemesis as a page, just like Alanna did. But Kel, aside from the daily skirmishes as a kid, never had to face him down and defeat him in ultimate combat. the Chamber took care of that for her. I really like that main difference - you dont always fight and win against your ultimate foe. Sometimes it's something else that takes them out.
