Really much better then the previous ones, as it dropped most of the more obnoxious journaling elements. Though maybe as a result, it had a different edge to the story then the previous ones. And maybe it's just Beka's maturation.I was a tiny bit confused by the introduction of the fiance at the beg...
I had a hard time getting into this book at first. I was immediately blindsided on the first page with the fact that Beka had a dead fiance. This was so jolting. But I can chalk that up to Reader arrogance. (Even if years have passed between stories, nothing is supposed to actually happen.)Admitt...
I'm so sad this is the end of Beka's story. An amazing book, I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed 'Mastiff'. Being back in Beka's head made me miss all the Tortall characters I know and love, and I was so happy to at least have a few of them in this one: Beka, Pounce, Sabine, Tunstall and Ac...
*Rating* 3.5*Genre* Fantasy*Review*The year is 249 and Guardswoman Rebakah (Beka) Cooper is now a fourth year provost guard and protégée of Lord Gershom of Haryse (Lord Provost). With her, as always, are her trusting scent hound Achoo Curlypaws, and Pounce, who is better known as the cat constellati...
What a great ending to a delightful series.First of all, I just have to say this: the cover is AWFUL. What the hell is that picture of Beka with her neck twisted all the way around? I get that it's supposed to be showing her "ghost eyes" or whatever, but it's really badly done. (Also, Achoo is a lig...
I liked it better than I liked the first two books in the series, although it was a bit long in the middle. It made me want to re-read the Song of the Lioness series, and that's always a good thing.
What a wonderful book! It was filled with adventure, love, betrayals and heartbreak. Beka Cooper has just finished burying her betrothed - a man she had come to hate and was going to dump - when she is contacted by Lord Gershom for a Hunt. Four-year-old Prince Gareth, only son of King Roger II, has ...
I give warning now of many many spoilers in the following words, but there's no way I can do this review without explaining things thoroughly. My overall feeling about this novel is one of confusion; not for the current story and plot, but for the main characters development. Beka who I’ve known for...
Good as all Tamora Pierce's books are, but I found it surprisingly easy to put down, and thus it took me a lot longer to read than I would have ever expected. It had some terrific parts though - e.g. Beka's relationship with the King and Queen and Master Farmer. I loved Achoo and even started liking...
Let me just preface this review by saying that I love Tamora Pierce (which is why I gave this book two stars instead of one). I have read all her Tortall series and was (and arguably still is) a rabid fan of the Song of the Lioness quartet and Wild Magic quartet. If you haven't read them, you should...
