Terrier dealt with class differences, but it was banging you over the head with it. Bloodhound on the other hand was clearly "I want to write a story about counterfeiting and how that hurts and economy", and Mastiff was her thoughts on slave trafficking. Neither of the books thought much of "who are these characters and where are they going in life", an felt more like plot with characters shoe-horned in. The first book set up a wonderful set of characters and the world they lived in, then promptly left them for different ideas TP wanted to explore. It did the characters a huge disservice, especially considering the end of Mastiff.

(Incidentally, the Tricksters series had the same problem -- they were all about colonialism and race differences and so on. The only difference is I personally hated the characters, so I have no love for that series at all. Anvil-over-the-headed plot + unlikable characters = nope.)

SA, sorry, I meant to say Terrier *wasn't banging you over the head with it. Absolutely awful typo.

I think that reading Bloodhound as an anti counterfeiting screed is sort of weird? Like is this a huge social justice issue in the real world that I've missed out on? I really liked that book (considerably more than the other too) and I thought the smart look at economics was an interesting part of the world building. It might not be everybody's cuppa tea & there are legitimate storytelling issues w/ the series overall. But putting th at down to 'too much social justice' sounds like seeing what you want to see.
