I prefer Protector of the Small to Alanna. Not just because it is better written, but because Kel is always a girl among boys. Also, she has this great knight to live up to. The pressure is greater because she has to show that Alanna wasn't a fluke (or, if Alanna had been a great failure, that she was). Second girl stories have increased pressure, I think, and can tell a thornier story.
