As soon as I started reading 'Hunters of the Last Dungeon' by Kaye Wagner I was immersed in the story line, the plot and the excellent character development of the main protagonists being Hiro and the older lady, Olly. Hiro has the qualities of fresh innocence and naivety while Olly, who he calls, 'Big Sis' is brilliantly and penetratingly clever. It is a milieu filled with a futuristic world of Teigen. Most of this City is inhabited by people in dire poverty but there is a yearly contest by the lucky chosen few to go into a maze or labyrinth like bricked-up Dungeon as a contest of strength and cunning. If successful it could change the participants lives for the better. Hiro and Olly sneak their way clandestinely into the 'testing area' with other 'proven and expert hunters' skilled in war and strategy. It is a life or death game that they must win. Full of puzzles and twists in both the plot and action I was impressed with the artful character development of not only Olly and Hiro but also Dasha, Bacon and Vogel the support characters. It is a wonderfully entertaining read from a master story teller at the top of the game. Highly recommended. Great Buy and you will love it.
