One of my favourite novels of all time, and probably my favourite series of Tamora's, which is saying something.I love the world, the language, the slang, everything about this book.

Terrier is the first book in Tamora Pierce's "Beka Cooper" trilogy. Telling the story of George Cooper's illustrious ancestor, Terrior is equal parts mystery and pure fun.

The interesting thing about the Beka Cooper trilogy is that even though it is a fantasy, it doesn’t necessarily feel like a fantasy.

The terminology Dogs, Puppy, Birdie etc took me a while to get used to. But I think I liked this more than the first 2 Song of the Lioness books I've read (haven't read the last 2).

Centuries before George became King of the Rogues, she was one of the Provost's Dogs: the city's watch, charged with keeping the peace. Like her descend...
