This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab
3.0
I started the Audiobook on a Monday and finished on Thursday evening if that tells you anything about how much I enjoyed this book. It was a solid read (listen?), not spectacular, but solid. I grew to really love the characters August and Kate. I enjoyed their dynamic and the fact that they are mirror images of one another. I enjoyed the kind of slow-burn of their relationship (not a spoiler imo) and that was primarily what drove my interest in the story. That and my attachment to August in particular. I was interested in seeing how/if the limits of his power would be stretched by the end. '
The mythology of this world is interesting but not super deep. I only say that because I know there are people who may have read this book or are interested in reading it that would have loved a deeper dive into the history and mythology of this fantasy/dystopia. On that note, it was pretty cool reading (listening??) to a book that kind of melds two genres that otherwise wouldn't go together. I was definitely compelled to download the sequel immediately and started it the next morning.
