This Savage Song by V.E. Schwab
3.0
Actual rating: 3/5 stars
I didn't like this book as much as I'd hoped, but I still enjoyed it. I liked the idea of monsters being created from human violence and tragedy -- I've never read anything like that before. Some characters in this book were really great. August, the male main character, was definitely my favorite and Kate, the female main character, was not too bad either, but others (let's say August’s brother Leo) were much less than great. I found it surprisingly nice that the two characters didn’t have a romantic relationship!
I kept waiting (and waiting and waiting) for something WOW to happen, but it really didn't. At least nothing that wowed me to the extent that it made me adore the book. I really wished it had though. I also found the writing a little confusing at times, but not so often that I lost track of what was going on. I cannot forget to add that the book also was very nicely written, and not at all confusing, at times too.
Overall, I enjoyed and liked This Savage Song and I would certainly recommend it. I will definitely read the next book whenever it comes out!
