Review Detail

Beka Cooper is a rookie with the law-enforcing Provost's Guard, and she's been assigned to the Lower City. It's a tough beat that's about to get tougher, as Beka's limited ability to communicate with the dead clues her in to an underworld conspiracy. Someone close to Beka is using dark magic to profit from the Lower City's criminal enterprises--and the result is a crime wave the likes of which the Provost's Guard has never seen before.

Terrier is told in the view of a trainee Dog, Beka Cooper. It is written in a journal form that Beka has to write for part of her training. Beka is also the ancestor of George Cooper who is in the 'Song of the Lioness' quartet.

I liked Beka very much. She is quite similar to me as in the way she was shy and that she did all those things to help people. She was strong inside, and very brave, and I liked that very much. She seemed like a great person and a good friend. I hated it when her sisters bullied her in her choice of career.

The idea of two great crimes going on at the same time, and being linked as well was a brilliant idea. I loved how Beka spent equal amount of time on each, most people would fixate on one.

This book was a great read. I love Tamora Pierce's Tortall. Its such a great world and I love how she has written so many books set in this one world, its truly stunning. I cannot wait to read the next Beka Cooper book. I recommend it to everyone, above the ages of 12.
