I am thoroughly entranced and swimming in the world building. Here human women lay eggs, and the wolves change gender every moon cycle until on their 18th birthday. They set their gender with an egg from the humans. Intrigued yet? The Child of the wolf king wants to set as a girl, but her father needs her to set as a boy to take over ruling the kingdom. She set off with her boyfriend, a human, to make her own life, or to at least wait out her 18th birthday and make the choice for herself. Meanwhile in the land of humans, egg laying goes on, but if you do something against one of their laws, they kill you, then bring you back as a type of zombie called Immortui. They make great pack beasts, but die if they get to far from the swamp. This book was way too short. It just wet my whistle of a grand adventure. For some reason it gives me vibes of Jim Hensen with Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, but that could just be the enormous bugs everyone rides. I want more of this story, and I really want this turned into a cartoon that I can watch. It could be the Last Unicorn of this generation.… (mehr)
