Fun New Book
Jan. 30th, 2015 10:36 pmI just finished reading _Terrier_ by Tamora Pierce.
Becca Cooper is a new Guardswoman--a "Puppy" in local terms, because the guards are called "Dogs." Anxious to make good, and to make her noble sponsor happy he rescued her family from the worst part of town--the Cesspool--she is fast of foot and strong of arm, but so shy she can hardly look her teachers in the eye.
Set to patrolling the toughest of the mean streets, she has a quick mind, true friends, a cat that is more than a cat, and a talent for listening--even to ghosts and winds. But most of all she has sympathy for the people caught in poverty and desperation, and a belief that even the lowest lives are valuable.
That will make her a Terrier among Dogs--once she sinks her teeth into a case, she will never let it go.
I will definitely be reading more by this author. Starting with the next in this series: Bloodhound.
