Critics

Audience

A mutated monster hunter travels through a turbulent fantasy world, taking dangerous jobs while encountering magic, political conflict, and people whose cruelty can rival that of the creatures he faces. His path gradually becomes tied to forces beyond his control and a destiny that reaches across the continent.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want dark fantasy, monsters, magic, romance, and intense action, especially with the atmosphere of Penny Dreadful; Not for you if nonlinear storytelling and uneven worldbuilding frustrate you.
