2 out of 5 stars Meh. This book was fine. But with blisteringly creative, updated, and badass reboots like The Lunar Chronicles out there, Hunted feels tired. Goodreads.com: Hunted, by Meagan Spooner Re-imaginings must be both easier and harder to write. The bones of the story are there, just elaborate, !
