But it's engaging.

It also has some similarities to the one described by H. A. Guerber as the Huntsman ends up being closer to prey than leader.

The female lead is a life-death-rebirth goddess with a bit of year-king foreshadowing. I'm not really up on my mythology enough to see the rest of the archetypes, but I have the sense it mixed a fair number of them in. I would say it actually had nothing to do with the wild hunt myth.

I'm disappointed in myself because I'd never heard of a "LARP amusement park" before. Was there an explicit reference to or did the plot parallel the actual myth of the Wild Hunt?
