Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Hunter by Mercedes Lackey


This is hopefully the first book in an excellent new series.   Hunter Joyeaux is dragooned from her cold nest in the mountain monastery by the rulers of Apex.  Joy is a hunter of creatures and she uses magic and her hounds for that purpose.   Her hounds are not dogs but outsiders from some other place.  We are never sure where or what that other place may be.   This book is her initial adventures in Apex.

Joy is an orphan and her only family is her Uncle, the Prefect in Apex.  Political and magical intrigue are rampant in Apex.  Joy is more used to the rural outback where if folks don't stick together they end up dying alone.  

Lackey's character development shines in this book.   She creates a realistic and hyper-capable teen who is laudable and nearly believable.   Mercedes Lackey has that rare ability to elicit a strong emotional response to her characters.   I can only hope this is just the initial book in a new series.

I highly recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
