Some technical issues

It seems that several of the chapters in the last portion of the book repeat themselves, but none are missing. It's just a bit annoying if your hands are full and you can't skip to the next chapter immediately.

That said, still giving 5 stars. I read the first book in the Unicorn Chronicles when I was in grade school and now I'm finishing the series as an adult.

One of my favorite series.Claire

I love this series! I love how there are so many different characters voices different plots and these books gradually grow greater and more exciting and I love the sorrowful ending . Triumphant but sorrowful.

love all the unicorn chronicles! fun to read

these are captivating story. I really feel like you are there. I have always been a fan of fantasy.

so good!

I read the first book in my youth and really enjoyed it. somehow I never realized it was a series until now. The whole story was amazing and so well written. so many beloved characters and I was surprised at how much death there was. I feel this had just the right amount of detail about the battles to give a clear picture without being gratuitous about the violence. Definitely one of my absolute favorites even now as an adult.

Magic

Absolute magic, from start to finish!! A++ highly recommend - will not disappoint, give a listen and be carried away to the epic world of Luster

Loved it!

Loved this book! Such great performances by the actors and such a great story. Sad that it's over.

A wonderful listen

one of the best I've ever listened to, I love the way it was performed and a great overall story

This was so touching

I love how there is a full cast in this audio book, also how there is more understanding to people than I thought there would be! I think that this audio book, even though it is a book about unicorns, the author made it like a magical imaginary world of fantasy. I would definitely recommend this book for people who love fantasy, a little bit of gore, or just books that make you feel like your in a different world.

A great adventure story for kids

My seven year old liked everything about this book. The performances are great and the story is interesting and imaginative.

Surprising Conclusion

Would you listen to The Last Hunt again? Why?

Yes and No. Yes because I love this series and no because when you get into the "nineties chapters" it plays each chapter twice. You have to use the skip option to get to the next chapter.

What did you like best about this story?

This is not a short book. Let me just start by saying that it will take you a while to get through this book. What I liked about it though is that it didn't just give you a "The End" ending. Each of the characters were given their own chapters and this conclusion that some of us have been waiting years to read came to an epic conclusion that was well thought out and very well written by the author.

What does Bruce Coville bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Bruce Coville's audio books of The Unicorn Chronicles brings every character to life by giving them their own voice. Unlike a dramatized version, his unabridged versions actually follow along with the books while still having an entire cast re-in-acting the beautiful and wondrous world that is Luster, the land of the unicorns.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were some moments that gave me the jaw dropping feeling. Other times I laughed and I even cried at the end.

Any additional comments?

The only thing that I would change is the doubling of the nineties chapters. It gives the audio book 2 hours of extra reading that it really doesn't need. This should be changed and an updated version should be sent to everyone who has purchased and downloaded this audiobook.
