Ok, well, I finished The Children of Hurin, which I LOVED. It was a beautiful, sad story. The main character had such bad luck that he seemed cursed. Ok never mind, he was cursed. Poor man.
Now I'm reading Terrier, by Tamora Pierce. What an interesting book. It's a fantasy book (of course) about a young police-in-training (they're called the "Provost's Guard"). The main character is Beka Cooper, who has strange magic: a magic that allows her to her the whispers of the dead. Through this, Beka learns that someone is seriously shaking up the the slums of her city. People of all ages are disappearing from the streets, often never seen again. With her fellow Guards, her close friends, and her strange, talking purple-eyed talking cat (readers of Tamora Pierce will recognise Faithful), she searches for the up-starts, determined to bring them to justice.

It sounds so good! I absolutely loved Faithful in the Alana books. Terrier is one of the first books I plan to read this summer, and I'm greatly looking forward to it. And as a bit of an aside; I think this is the first novel Tamora Pierce has written from the point of view of the first person... how does she do?
