Mastiff

I'm sorry for not posting, but time seems to be so short at hand now. There's spoiler code in this post, so just highlight the blacked-out bits with your mouse to read them.

At any rate, I just finished Tamora Pierce's Mastiff Beka Cooper #3. I nearly cried at the end. I can't believe it's over.

So Beka and Tunstall end up going on this huge Hunt to save Prince Gareth, the King's four-year-old son, who's been kidnapped. She and Tunstall join forces with Lady Sabine and a mage named Farmer Cape. They travel all across Tortall, fighting for every step. But then, oh it's terrible! TUNSTALL TAKES A BRIBE!! Seriously. I was like "Tunstall, you sarden looby, what in Mithros' name are you doing?! You're being a total coney! A crooked Dog! A gods' fool, cracknob, scutty, mumpin', new Tom! You need to get your fambles back where they belong afore you get bit! I thought it wasn't for real, that they were smarter than that. And then the sarden looby betrays them all to Prince Baird's men! The end, oh, the end was so tragic! Beka figures the whole thing out and- I'm going to cry- Tunstall attacks her. He says he doesn't want to, but if need be he'll push her over the cliff. Beka asks why he did it, and Tunstall says he did it because they promised him a barony and the Lord Provost's spot. He thought that way he could marry Sabine without her having to be disgraced for marrying a commoner. OH MITHROS! This is beyond Romeo and Juliet, Tristan and Isolde, Aragorn and Arwen, Snape and Lily. *Cries.* Oh, Tunstall, why did you do it? You know she still loved you! You betrayed her! And then, at the end, Beka talks to Goodwin. All that's mentioned of Goodwin is she had a "chill voice." How she must have suffered.

Don't let that get in your way of reading it. This is one of the best books I've ever read. I LOVE IT!!!!

*Cries some more.*

But I still love it. I still love him.

Tumblr is pretty legit, as I've found out. If you want to check mine out, it's http://www.lavictoiredanslabrume.tumblr.com. I'll talk to you later.

PS- Nanowrimo starts soon... ;)
