"Were there ever two twins more different in all of Lyssia?"

(I know the wereworld fandom died in 2016 but where you at??)

WEREWORLD IS GETTING ADAPTED AS AN ANIMATED SERIES!!!

It’ll will be titled “Wolf King” and it will release in 2025 on netflix

I really enjoyed these books as a pre-teen, they had a unique world that I had never encountered before. I can’t wait to see how they’ll adapt the series, especially in animation!

[tack-the-pretty-boy]

So I was watching Wolf King on Netflix out of boredom (it just sounded too generic from the trailer) and then in the first episode it said it was an adaptation of a book series I got curious.

And...

DEAR GOD

That looks so cringe, like 2017 level of cringe. And these books were made in 2011, why didn't the author update the cover I have no idea but this looks too cringe too look at.

So what werelords do you think tried to remain loyal to the wolves and which allied with Leopold?

Like I know the Ratlords, some hawklords joined Leopolds side

The books basically confirm all of this. So…

Here we go.

Lion Loyal:

Ratlords

Crablords

Crowlords

Fishlords (Barracuda and Scorpion fish are the only described)

Wolf King Character Details I love (part 5)

All gifs featured were created by @soranatus

Will contain Book Spoilers, Read at your own Risk

If you read the books you probably love him. If you’re Wolf King only, you probably hate him — trust us he gets better.

Trent Ferran, Brother of the Wolf.

So, the first thing book readers noticed with Trent, and what non-book readers likely heard, is that he isn't blonde.

Throughout the books he is referenced to having a blonde mop of hair. Wolf King opts to give him Mack's brown hair. I wonder if this is due to Tilly's changed ethnicity.

In Wolf King, Tilly is noticeably indigenous coded (I will go into that more thoroughly with Queen Amelie). Giving Trent a darker hair color likely fit better with his new mixed ancestry.

And while one could imagine book Trent inherited book Tilly's blonde hair, if he inherited show Tilly's black hair, he would be too close to resembling Drew. While the brothers do have a passing resemblance, for readability sake they need enough distinguishing features to be readily identified.

Trent has a noticeably, if only by a little, bigger physique than Drew. His variation on Cold Coast attire even accentuates his arms by going sleeveless., and overall being lighter than most anyone in Motley.

Considering later in the series he's able to keep up with Werelords in a fight, it's a smart choice to make his character design express his athleticism. One of the first scenes of the series has him and Drew race to their homestead for supper.

Trent handily beats Drew without breaking a sweat (in comparison, Drew seems to get a stitch). Even with Drew having a good head start on him after chucking a sack of feed at him.

They want you to know he's physically capable.

Appearance aside, Trent's story has been changed fairly drastically for the show.

For Wolf King only fans, after Drew flees the Ferran homestead, Trent doesn't appear again in Rise of the Wolf. He doesn't appear again until the very end of Rage of Lions (book 2). When he joins the lionguard to hunt Drew.

But in the show he's already a trooper when him and Drew meet again in Highcliff in the show. What gives?

A big piece of behind the scenes context I think will explain this.

Wereworld was originally meant to be a two book series. Rise of the Wolf was written with that in mind, while it seems Jobling getting a deal to make it a six book saga happened partway through Rage of Lions.

I think in the original two book saga that RotW was written for, Trent simply wasn't intended to be a major character. That changed when the series was reworked to be six books. Hence his sudden appearance at the end of RoL, only for him to get fast tracked for going turncoat in SotH (Shadow of the Hawk).

So, with the ability to know what's to come, Wolf King keeps Trent relevant for the entire season. Having him join the Lions a whole season early and even being the one Leopold sends to Bast to get aid from the Catlords.

This already sets up his eventual face turn in SotH, as he'll likely be racked with guilt over what the Catlords do to the Longstridings after they arrive. He would be the one that brought them there.

And this line right here.

Once again, thank you @soranatus for this gif.

"I'm his brother"

Even in the scene after Drew seemingly kills their mother and Trent himself having his world shattered. Questioning everything he knew about his family. Even after all of that, he still calls himself Drew's brother. Before somberly 'correcting' himself.

This instinctual reflex is exactly what Baron Ewan will call Trent out on in SotH that ultimately makes Trent abandon the Catlords.

Trent is one of four characters (I believe) that appear in every book. Alongside Drew, Hector and Lucas.

And much like Hector and Lucas, Wolf King is intentionally setting up Trent's character arc in a way that couldn't have been done when RotW was originally published.

Nest of Serpents can't come soon enough.

I need to see these two together.
