Description
In a dying world, only humans and orcs remain—mortal enemies battling for territory and political advantage. But when a group of fearsome ancient humanoids known as the Vangol arrive from across the sea, the two struggling civilizations are forced into a fragile alliance to protect what they have built.
As a gesture of his commitment to the cause—and to the relief of his bride-to-be, Faran Stoneback—the most powerful orc overlord, Troth Icemane, sends his beloved cousin Tara, a high-ranking young healer, to fight alongside brash human commander Callum Battlechild and his company of warriors. With a crisis looming, the success of this unlikely pair’s partnership and the survival of their peoples will depend on their ability to unlearn a lifetime of antagonistic instincts toward one another…and rise above the sting of heartbreak.

Wow this graphic novel really captivated me! I can’t wait to read more! The graphic novel „The Hunger and the Dusk“ by G.Willow Wilson and Chris Wildgoose is set in a dying world that is inhabited by humans and orcs that have been at war with each other for centuries. Faced with a new mutual enemy they form a fragile alliance. The story is told from the orc and human perspective which I really liked! The insight into the orc culture was phenomenal. I immediately started to care for both sides due to the exceptional character work done in this. The story was engaging and fast paced while still taking its time to explore the characters‘ relationships and backstories. The world felt organic and interesting which was enhanced by the beautiful artwork by Chris Wildgoose. There even was a solid dash of romance in this that really hit for me! I can wholeheartedly recommend this series and I’m eager to read what happens next! A big thanks to NetGalley and the publisher IDW Publishing for giving me the opportunity to read an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
