When I was
a little girl, my mother had a rule about books: you had to read thirty pages
before deciding you didn’t like it, because a bad beginning didn't necessarily mean a bad book. Hunter
by Mercedes Lackey is the reason I still follow her rule. While the first
two chapters are slow and overwhelming with information, the rest of the book
makes up for it by being jam-packed with mystery, magic, romance, and scheming.
Set in a dystopian America that is
under attack by mythical beings, Hunters are magic wielders that protect the
innocents from the monsters outside—or that’s what Joy Charmand thought. Written in a first person story-teller
narrative, Joy explains everything she does and every thought that passes
through her head as she learns her way around her new city, but things
only getting more complicate. By the end of the book, readers will be
completely involved in the story, and will want to know what will happen next.
The only bad news? No sequel has been announced yet…. but there is still time!
