This Savage Song

I do not know where to begin with this book. I do not think anything I write will do it justice. This book had everything I wanted and needed. There was so much to fall in love with.

I'm a huge fan of Victoria Schwab and everything she has written, this book being no exception. She just has this way of writing that pulls you right into the meat of the story and the world. So Verity is an amazing setting. From the first page I was obsessed with learning as much as I could about the city and its strange inhabitants. Victoria did a fantastic job of giving us the information about the world as we needed it. The story unfolded in a great way that keep me hooked all the way through. For me there was very little down time at all, I was eager throughout the book to see what was going to happen next.

In terms of the characters, we have two completely different but also the same people. Kate and August were a great pair and I loved watching their chemistry unfold throughout the book. There is so much keeping them apart but they are thrown into this war.

Victoria Schwab has this way of making you think everything is going to be okay then throwing a total curve ball at you. At the very end of the book you get what I assume is monsters rising in Prosperity and Alice reviving who I'm also assuming is Sloan. This is going to make for a great conclusion to the duology. I'm really interested to see how Schwab gets August and Kate back together for this one.
