The Hyena and the Hawk by Adrian Tchaikovsky

stressedspidergirl's review against another edition

I didn't like the twist of the story, if I'm being honest. I think if the 'villains' of the piece had been different, and the severing of the soul self, a lot of this took a much darker turn and I didn't enjoy it a whole lot.

I was okay with the ending and how things wrapped up in that regard, I just... find it odd that the other society is the total opposite in a way and the bug people kind of thing? I guess. It wasn't ideally what I would expect from what I thought was a historical fantasy setting kind of like the Black God.

Really enjoyed this trilogy - the wide breadth of characters, world setting and fantasy elements were fab.

Took a very different path than what the first book set out to explore. I liked it... I was just expecting something g different. Thought the end seemed quick, with a resolution I wasn’t a fan of.
