Mastiff by Tamora Pierce

5.0

As Beka is swept into adventure once again through her work as one of the Provost's Dogs.
Beginning with a few tragedies, and continuing through gloom, under attacks, and with pressure on them from every side, Beka and her fellow Hunters are on the chase. Beka's Hunting companions' dialogue, and varied characters sweep the story along and enthrall the readers.
The book is written for fans of the Tortall realm series, and clearly shows that by unravelling threads to be tangled then tied up later, but it also tells its own individual story of another excellent female character.
