This is the third and final book in the Beka Cooper series.
Beka is on her biggest Hunt yet. The royal family is threatened, and Beka, Tunstall, Achoo, and new friend, the mage Farmer, must hunt down the bad guys. As the Hunt gets worse and worse, with more and more danger as each hour passes, Beka isn’t sure they will prevail, especially as the plot is slowly revealed to them. Can a few Dogs overcome some of the most powerful people they’ve even seen?
This one is a lot grittier than most of Pierce’s work, and I can’t help but think it’s a sign of the times. I miss the more gentle style of her previous work, but since I love Beka and had to finish her story, I made it through. There is a traitor in the midst of the Hunt, and when I found out who it was, I cried - I felt like I had been punched in the gut. The ending was not what I expected, and I’m still not sure if that made it better or worse. I give this one an 8 out of 10.
