The Rebellion of Petigré by Denis Lapière
3.0
I found the premise of The Wolf Queen to be interesting. I think it could allow for some fascinating explorations of Gender and different power dynamics in a society where Werewolves change Gender every full moon and human women lay eggs instead of birthing babies, and for some reason, those eggs are what is required for werewolves to settle into either a man or a woman.
But all of the weird, interesting stuff going on in the background ends up falling to the wayside in reality for what ends up being a very monotonous plot.
The choice to make the Immortui that the Petrigré and co collect to be a Black Boy feels icky in so many ways. Especially as we watch Petrigré use him as apparently, Immortui exists purely to serve and must obey orders.
Overall I felt very meh about most of this and likely won't seek out the rest of this series.
