Their push against each other, the power dynamic and how each had their own goals, using the other for their own gains- Alice was such a great character. Alice and Sloane now have a POV and their interactions and relationship was so good. The best thing about this entire book was the villains what is new. Ilsa had a bigger role and we finally get into her backstory, we get to know August’ parent’s more (which was fun), but… I wasn’t fully with them. Trust me.īut that segues to the fact that I wasn’t feeling the characters really until the end. No spoilers, but it’s not all what it seems. And I didn’t like it- the development of their relationship wasn’t the best. They haven’t seen each other in months and then this happens? I don’t understand. What I appreciated about This Savage Song is the lack of romance despite it being sold as Romeo and Juliet… and I would have been here for it here… if it didn’t come out of no where. I’d love to have a separate story on them- how they came to be, what their life was like before they started working with August, etc. evil contrast August’ and in the end, you can see them changing their belief. However, there is a new Sunai who’s genderfluid and they were interesting in their character development. She doesn’t really do anything- in fact, this feels more like August’ story and it’s fine… but when they both have a POV, I’d like both to be engaging, ya know? There was one particular scene that really stood out and expanded on how intentions behind actions changes things, despite the evil deed.īut I do feel like Kate lost some of her badassness, at least until the end. We’re still stuck in one location and we’re getting more out of the philosophy of good, evil and exceptions- mostly from August’ POV.
The only aftermath, in fact, appeared to be the creature itself, the violence fed back into its source, leaving nothing but bodies in its wake.” But here were monstrous acts without the monstrous aftermath. Kate’s friends that make an appearance for 2-3 chapters, just to never be heard from again, the romance (though it really wasn’t tbh) and the new character appearance (we’ll get to that later). And it felt underdeveloped in some areas. There’s a bit of a time jump- Kate’s now a monster hunter and August is sacrificing his humanity to be what his people need. I feel like something was missing on all fronts. Not saying this was a bad book- it definitely wasn’t.
