Review: A gem of a story
Rating: 5 out of 5

I bought Hunter's beginning and was so captivated that I bought the other two books just as soon as I devoured the first one. Now, it appears that (most if not all) of the spelling/grammar mistakes have been corrected and Veller's story manages to shine through. This series is difficult to categorize - I would personally put as having the same nature as that of Sherwood Smith's books featuring young, gifted heroines. Kile Veller is a idealistic protagonist that the reader can't help rooting for through her trials and tribulations in her ambition to become a Hunter in the Hunter's guild. The books possess some degree of comedy - you will find yourself laughing with delight in some pages and yet moved close to tears in other scenes. However, overall the books definitely have YA flavor - the violence is toned down and the romance (if any) very understated.I would however recommend that the author re-edit his second and third books as he has obviously taken some pains to correct the first one make Kile Veller's 'friends' talk without the wit and vocabulary possessed by humans.  This series has the potential to be an enduring classic with some more tight editing.
