I have really enjoyed the series thus far, despite the fact that there are some things about this author's writing style that have begun to bother me, about half way through the second book.The characters Breene creates are unique and engaging, with personalities that are well thought out. Their interactions are fun and entertaining. They argue and disagree often while still learning to trust one another and work together. This is one area where the author excels. The romance between Shanti and Cayman is a little predictable, but at least isn't too distracting.
Warning, very minor spoilers
The main issue I have with the story in Hunted is the main antagonist. He is supposed to be this badass hunter that everyone is afraid of. The problem being, we know little to nothing about him except for the fact that he is supposed to be scary. How do we know he's scary? Well, because everyone in the book is afraid of him for some reason. Including Shanti who is supposedly the best and strongest warrior in all the land. Instead of giving us a reason to be afraid of him, Breene telegraphs his scariness by making everyone act afraid of him.
If you look at the hunter objectively, there seems to be very little reason for the fear he inspires. 1. He's a good Hunter, maybe the best in the world. Okay... I still think Shanti could kick his ass. Or Cayan. Hell, probably Sanders. I'm sorry, just saying he's a Hunter isn't scary. Give me an example, a reason Shanti, the best damn fighter in the land, might be afraid of him. 2. When Shanti first met him, he noticed her bra was the wrong material. Okay, so he's observant, and smart. Still not scary. 3. He has strong sharshers (where did they come from again?) that are nearly as strong as Shanti. This is where it fell apart for me. The rules of magic in this book are too inconsistent. Suddenly using a couple minutes of strong magic is enough to exhaust her, where she could go for hours before (This is a separate gripe of mine, Breene still hasn't defined the rules of magic in her world, and the rules seem to change based on what's convenient in that moment of the story).
I think the problems with the hunter is just one example of this series' major storytelling issue. There is too much happening in this world that has not received an explanation. Another example of this is the idea of gifts and the rules behind this system of magic. We're told that there are different kinds of gifts. Still, I don't understand what is so special about Shantis's gift or how it is supposedly different from others in this world. I know she is more powerful. I know she can influence people around her. But the author has never really clarified how this is different exactly from other gifts. In fact, most gifts seem strikingly similar a fact that is reinforced by Shanti's ability to learn the "tricks" used by other gifted. The reader is left guessing since we are never given a direct explanation about how these gifts work and much of the context we are given is contradictory.
In closing, I really do enjoy this book. I hope you enjoy it as much, and hopefully some of these issues are ironed out as the story progresses.

Hunted The Warrior Chronicles Book 2 edition by KF Breene Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I read ALOT of fantasy with female main characters. Lately there's been this trend of female MCs who I assume are supposed to come off as quirky, witty, relatable and endearing. In my opinion they tend to come off as petulant, impulsive, whiny, dramatic bratts who complicate their own lives and the lives of those around them. Shanti is not that character. She's the perfect balance of brains, humor, badassery and big hearted. She thinks before she makes any moves, especially how said moves will affect the people she cares about. She doesn't pout or whine and justify her mistakes. She's all woman, not childish.
The world building is minimal, allowing for full focus on the characters and plot. The romance is in the back seat in this series. Sooo refreshing. I'm getting the sense shanti and cayan are "mates", but so far, it's not suffocating the story. The plot moves at the perfect pace, not lagging anywhere.
Recommend this series!
I LOVE a good fantasy series, and The Warrior Chronicles so far is a series I am really enjoying reading. I've read the first 2 books in the last day and a half, looked at reviews for the others, already downloaded the free epilogue off the authors website for when I finish reading book 6.........I'm a little tempted to read it now, but I'm going to be strong and wait!!
The romance in this story REALLY takes a back seat to the action, but you can see the chemistry slowly simmering between Shanti and Cayan ( kind of why I was tempted to read the epilogue, my romance loving brain wants to see what comes of this pair! ). Shanti is really strong, determined, and she is an amazing fighter. Her gift also gives her the added benefit when fighting her enemy of being able to attack them mentally, or block their mental attacks. Cayan sounds like a beast of a man ( in a good way! ). Huge, physically strong and also an amazing fighter - his gift and Shanti's combined may be the difference between life and death. Lots of other characters in this story to keep the readers interest piqued, such as Rohnan. I want more Rohnan in the next book.
This is the 2nd book in the Warrior Chronicles by Breene. There are six books in this series right now. For some reason I didn't enjoy this book quite as much as the first one in the series. The writing was actually less awkward than the first book in the series. Unfortunately, I thought that things moved too slowly and nothing much happened in this book.
I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobook was well done. The narrator does a great job with emotion and character voices. In fact I think I probably like listening to this book more than I would enjoy reading it because of the well done narration.
The book starts with a brief rescue mission in which Shanti rescues her brother and ends up with a mysterious old man tagging along as well. After that our characters spend the whole book traveling to the Shadowlands and it was predictable and boring.
We do meet a couple interesting new characters (mainly Shanti’s brother and the mysterious Old Man). However, the travel was pretty boring and even the battle scenes seemed to have lost their urgency.
The story about the Chosen and the Wanderer was expanded on some. The series seems to be building towards some sort of trial that Shanti will have to undergo when they get to the Shadowlands (if they ever get there).
Overall this has been a fairly typical fantasy series with a somewhat awkward writing style. I am unsure as to whether or not I will continue the series. When I finished this book I wasn't chomping at the bit to read more about these characters and/or world.
