Plot Summary

Deep in the northern forests of ancient Scandinavia, a young huldra—a succubus-like being—encounters a human man for the first time. The chance meeting triggers a hunger and a physical transformation that she does not at first understand. Realizing that she is in the midst of her First Hunt, a rite of passage among her people, the young huldra embraces her true nature. What she does not know is that her premature first hunt will change the course of her life in ways she never could have expected.

All must face their first hunt and the events that unfold. But hunts are complicated, messy, and at times the reality is that you cannot see the path before you.

The work is a complex and fascinating tale of the first hunt of a Huldra, a Scandinavian myth similar to that of a succubus, those she encounters, her family and her kinds enemies. It’s something between a fantasy adventure with a bit of erotic heat here and there, but that is very much muted for the rest of the story.

Being set in the very distant past, there are some odd moments and tangents taken which add a bit of a stylized flavour and brings out a tone which is very much different from that of most stories about succubi.

The Huldra in the work are very similar to succubi in their powers, abilities and the means by which they feed. They aren’t evil, it’s more of a biological need that presses them into the actions they take and how the story develops around them.

Three out of five pitchforks.

An intriguing story set in a mythology that is both familiar and so very odd as well. The series as a whole has that tone, the mixture is quite good at keeping one’s attention really. Given the narrative and setting, it’s unlikely that a real emphasis on the mythos itself could be examined as much as I think it needs to be however.
