Elite

In episode 1, A Trial of Ice and Blood, we get a glimpse into the state of the world where Eric & Alice live. They are monster hunters, part of the Hunter's Guild, and we follow the beginning of their journey.

In this, episode 2, we begin where they left off, confused as to what they actually saw in the mountains of Maagsgard. While discussing that encounter, they are interrupted by a woman screaming for help. She says she is from Dawn and there are sinister happenings there.

Alice gets insight into Eric's past as he confronts the woman and says they will help. When Alice asks why, Eric reveals he is from Dawn. What evil awaits them in Dawn? Can they in fact help the town or are they walking to their own doom?

I was never interested in an episode-based series before. There was something about reading a story in short increments that didn't capture my fancy, so-to-speak. That has completely changed with The Hunter Series.

These may be short, but they are captivating and well-written. The characters are developing slowly, with just enough insight that you can see a little of who they are, while wanting to learn more.

The story itself has me hooked and I can't wait to see where it goes next. I sincerely appreciate the publisher for providing me with a review copy. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.
