Review: Engaging Dystopian Fantasy
Rating: 5 out of 5

I've been excitedly following Kaye Wagner's career for maybe about half a year now and I am never ever disappointed with her work. I had been enjoying the Legendary Detective series and am now hooked on the Hunters series. I wish these books had been out when I was a teen! I would have gone absolutely crazy for them, but the child/teen in me still finds them enthralling."Hunters of the Grey Forest" is an engaging pre-teen/teen dark fantasy set in a post-apocalyptic dystopian world. This volume follows the adventures of Olly and Hiro as they find themselves among the newest Hunters and must go on a hunt in the Grey Forest. The beauty of this novel was that the plot literally began very early in the novel and the action did not let up.Like the Legendary Detective series, there are puzzles to solve in this coming-of-age story. I really felt like I was there with Olly and Hiro trying to figure out the puzzles before time ran out.Ms. Wagner is a very talented writer and I can't wait to read what she has in store for us next!
