Huntsman is a short story/novella about Grimm, a mercenary type known for his ability to track, whether people or animals. He is hired to find a woman Simone who has killed the French king.
He tracks her to a mostly uninhabited forest area where he encounters creatures of legend. This all takes place in medieval times when the Christian Church is in control. Grimm is an adherent of the Norse goddess Hel.
It was an interesting story and very well written, partly based on actual people. I enjoyed the mythic parts of the story and they fit in very well in this medieval tale, making the story part fairy tale. All in all I would definitely recommend this story. ( )
