One of my favorite genres is dystopian fiction, and so picking up this young adult novel was an easy choice for me. ‘Hunters of the Last Dungeon’ turned out to be an intriguing tale of action and adventure that I could not put down from the moment that I picked it up.Right off the bat, I really enjoyed the interplay between Olly and Hiro, the brother and sister pair that are the protagonists of the book. They are to become Hunters, a mysterious group that the two have wanted to become since they were young. They are very rounded out characters, and seeing how their relationship grows during the course of this novel is fantastic. I like Olly because she always seems to whip Hiro into shape, and yet Hiro is entertaining for much the same reasons, but when push comes to shove, they work together beautifully.The plotline moves along at a speed that was quick enough to keep me interested, but was accessible enough that anyone could read it. The story was not marred down by overzealous descriptions and extraneous information, but instead, was focused on the dialogue between the two protagonists and the way that they interact with each other. This was a definite boon to how the story worked out, and combined with an expert storytelling ability, Kaye Wagner has served up a true gem.I would suggest this book to anyone that enjoys dystopic novels, as well as anyone who like science fiction, or the Hunger Games. Check it out!
