The Review
*I have transcribed this review from a 7th grader's handwriting. Any mistakes in names of characters or places is unintentional!*
The Hunter Awakens was written in 2014 by J.R. Roper. This book was part of a series called: The Morus Chronicles. The Morus Chronicles were also written by J. R. Roper.
The main character in this book is 13 year old Ethen Mours. He has a sister named Destry. He also has a dog named Ripley. Another character is Mel. She is a spy. She is 13, which is the same age as Ethen. Then and his sister Destry had to stay at their grandparent's farm for one week. On the way Eathen finds a piece of bark that was engraved by their deceased father. Ethen is always looking for things his dad owned, to remember him by. When they get to the farm, Ethen finds a mysterious room. His grandparents won't let him and his sister in. Ethen starts having weird dreams about his dad. Mel is faced with a choice: either kill Ethen or believe in her master to set her free. The grandfather of Ethen and Destry always tells stories about wizards and wizard hunters. Everything in the stories turns out to be true. Ethen then learns about a legend about how Ethen comes from a long line of ancient treasure hunters. Ethen has to search his family farm or one of his family members gets murdered. During all of this, he is being watched by the most powerful sorceress.
I think overall it was a pretty good book. It has a lot of action. There is also a lot of mystery in where he has to search for objects. If you are looking for a book of excitement then this is for you. "Good book this was!"- Yoda
