We also get to see her in a relationship for the first time, and Pierce handles that relationship in a way I wish was more common in YA. While the pacing in Bloodhound is a little slow for my taste, the final scene is triumphant and action-packed, and we see Beka grow in confidence and skill. And compelling characters they are: charming Dale arrogant Pearl our first set of queer characters on the page, Nestor and Okha (HEART EYES) gamblers, street urchins, idiot nobles, the full complement. Goodwin goes with her, along with Pounce, Achoo, and Slapper, but otherwise we get a whole new crew of side characters. They’re both great reads for many reasons, but I found myself missing the very things that made me love the series so much in Terrier: Beka’s community.įirst, a quick recap: Bloodhound delves deeper into the Rogue system as Beka travels to Port Caynn, chasing down the source of the counterfeit coins flooding Corus. The first month of our informal Tortall reread is winding up, and I gulped down Bloodhound and Mastiff inside of a week.
