![]() ![]() No beast can stand before her charge, and every northern child knows that the Huntress stalks the snows, looking for the lost, the unwary, and the bold alike.Ī lesbian retelling of ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ set in a wintry mountain. The Huntress rides behind them mounted on a great white bear with a horn of silver and bone at her lips and a spear cut from the living heart of a mountain pine at her side. In the mountain valleys, they swear you can hear her hounds on the knife’s edge of the wind, howling down the peaks in a spray of teeth. ![]() They say the Huntress rides out when the sun is at its farthest and Winter has her jaws buried deep in the heart of the warm, green world. I liked it much, much better than Compass Rose. This one surprised me a lot because I didn’t expect to get past the protagonist being a teenager (she’s probably 17?). A film option’s bound to happen at some point, starring a petite white actress who’s indistinguishable from the other white actresses. I can see why this got a huge book deal in that it’s exactly the kind of book people who don’t read books would pick up (which explains why it has a Stephen King blurb). It’s neither shocking nor messy it’s just tedious and predictable. N ot because it’s just so problematic but because it feels like an airport novel. Out of curiosity I picked up My Dark Vanessa and ended up not finishing it. ![]()
