Writing quality/readability - 2/5 From a purely technical standpoint, the writing is passable. Unfortunately, the novel was disappointingly toothless. If the synopsis had offered even 1/3rd of what it promised, I would have given The Hunter's Truce 5 stars without hesitation. The synopsis was what caught my interest offering a high fantasy retelling of The Three Little Pigs, replete with morally gray antiheroes turned assassin, and werewolves. I have a weakness for reimagined fairytales, and a weakness for werewolves that's borderline embarrassing.

The Hunter's Truce, on the surface, was my jam. I was provided an eBook copy in exchange for an honest review. I would like to begin by thanking Book Sirens and Crescent Sea Publishing. I also feel like, maybe, I should go back on the Three Little Pigs story and immerse myself more into it before getting into retellings of it. I feel this needs a rework and it could be better. I feel I'm missing important details and a bit more than halfway through, I feel like nothing was happening and so, I was losing interest. I mean, what is the plot, actually? I'm not sure I've followed the story well ehnough.

There's a lot of characters and the way the plot advances is confusing. I was pretty enthusiatic about that but then I started to get confused. The synopsis definitely caught my attention and the way the book starts is pretty fun and it's starting with a bang. So, when I grabbed this book to read, did I have my expectations too high? Maybe.

They go with my love of everything supernatural, you know. I'm not a huge Three Little Pigs know-it-all but then again, I love anything that has werewolves in them. They're fun, fast reads and are easy to get into when you don't have a lot of time to crack open a book. Let me start by saying I love short stories. ** Advanced copy received from Booksirens for an honest review**
