its pretty good if you've read the Aly series and enjoyed them, then you'll probably like Terrier
I've found that as she's been writing more and more, her books have been getting longer, not sure if i enjoy it or not...

I don'y mind long books i usually enjoy tham better than shorter ones because i find xometimes they are rushed or they cram everything into a small amount and skip over details. If they make a longer book than they can add all the details and little things that make you love the characters. Also the other books also had like 4 in the series where the new ones have 1 to 2 so they are almost the same if you were to put all 4 together or the 2 together. but thats just my thoughts and now i'm rambling.lol. that tends to happen a lot at least i'm still on tpic!

I don't love Rosto, but I think it would be interesting to see where that goes. I can see him being various people's ancestor... have thought so since Beka first saw him, which is weird.  I think that encounter reminded me of one from The First Adventure, which I had read recently, and hence I drew parallels between them. (Gone Riding, now I think I am the one who is rambling. But rambling is ok, it's not against rules)
I don't mind the stories being longer - I think it's because originally she wasn't allowed to write long novels because her publishers weren't sure if they would sell (goodness knows why, but I guess people can be put off by a book's length, especially if they don't read much), but now they know people like her books, it's different. I think she says somewhere on her website that Harry Potter's popularity despite it's length had something do to with that.

I like longer books...as long as they are not boring and dull. And Tamora's are never like that. I'm reading Tricker's Queen at the moment, but I plan to get Terrier soon...very soon...

Oh, the Allana (sp?) series was my favorite of all her books, so hopefully I'll like it then!
I like longer books, personally. I feel like I get more of a story, and they're not over so quickly
Just thinking about Tamora Pierce makes me want to read all the books over again  It has been over a year since I've read one of her books, and a couple years since I've read the majority of them...

Yes, I almost done with Wild Magic and I made the mistake of reading the last four books(the ones with Kel, First test, page, squire, lady kinght) I really makes sense on how all the books tie together.
