Volcrian's Hunt is a great follow up to the first two books in the Cat's Eye series. You guys all know how much I loved the first two books and this one did not disappoint. The story telling was similar to the style in the second book where there are different plots all converging on the same quest. Basically there are three groups of people, coming from different places and they were all trying to get to the lost isles for various reasons. Sara, burn, crash and their companions are trying to find a way to kill Volcrian. Volcrian is trying to get revenge on his brother, and Sora's mom is trying to help her daughter and stop the strange plague that is spreading throughout the land. Each chapter is from one of the different parties and it rotates around so you are updated on each of their quests.

My favorite chapters were the ones about Sora and her friends. I just connected more with them because I got to know them better in the first couple of books. This book Crash and Volcrian took more of front page. We got to know a little bit more about their pasts through the use of ample flashbacks. I really enjoy the way T.L. Shreffler weaves in the background details and the flashbacks. Except for the very first one. The book starts out in a flashback and while I understand why it was put in and why it was important for me it started the book off kind of slow. I would have rather just dove right into the adventure and had the flashback added in some place later in the story. But that is really the only criticism that I can find for this book.

I loved the story. The writing is superb, and the romance is all that I was hoping for in the first two books. In the second book in the series I Started to really love Sora and Crash and this book just made me giddy in that department. The romance is so fresh and real. Crash is such a gruff character that he drags his feet with everything, including Sora. But You can see his feelings peek through no matter how hard he tries to hide his feelings and emotions and for some reason that was just so freakin' endearing to me. I love the two of them. I can't wait for the next book in the series. The cat's Eye chronicles is still one of my favorite fantasy series of all time! You can't go wrong with this series, you are sure to love it!
