The Wolf Among the Wild Hunt by Marc Fenn Wolfmoor

Adult dark fantasy novella

After killing the wrong person, a wolf shapeshifter is sentenced to run the Wild Hunt to redeem his honor, a trial few have survived

Aromantic asexual main character in a queerplatonic relationship with an aromantic asexual nonbinary knight

Queernormative medieval Europe-inspired fantasy world including trans, aroace, polyamorous, lesbian, and gay characters

Dark folklore atmosphere

First in a series (I think) but ends pretty wrapped

Also includes illustrations throughout

Content warnings as per the author below the cut

Explicit battle violence; descriptions of gore and blood; murder; hunting violence, including violence against animals; sexual assault* (by a woman against a man); descriptions and themes of physical and emotional abuse; trauma from enslavement, violence, and neglect; and suicidal thoughts and ideation

*author’s content warning said sexual assault is off-page but I would disagree with that a bit

#this is a quick read but definitely not a light one #very bloody and violent #though the main character's relationship with brennus the knight is really sweet #it's also a bit nonlinear at times #there's creepy fae and the wild hunt so definitely things I enjoy even if it's not an easyread #there is a neat piece of world-building re: gender-inclusive language #there's a gender-neutral title but also titles like king and queen can apply to any gender I think #at least there's a female king and mentions of a female prince #in addition to maurr the gender-neutral equivalent of lord/lady #pretty sure men can be queen but not certain #anyway I thought that was a cool way of having gender-inclusive medieval fantasy #pride reading 2022 #the wolf among the wild hunt #lulu speaks #lulu reads #lulu reads the wolf among the wild hunt #books
