DID NOT FINISH: 62%

This book was so clearly rushed. It's terrible. All the characters have regressed from previous books, there's no character development, the plot is so disjointed that it's hard to follow and has destroyed all sense of urgency for their quest. Beyond that, it's full of inconsistencies and mistakes that are too distracting for me to keep focused on the story. It's just bad, and an absolutely disappointing end to an otherwise enjoyable series.

Updated to 4 stars!

Thank you to Penguin Teen for a finished copy to read and review!

Although this was not the ending I was hoping for this was overall a solid ending to the Beasts of Prey Trilogy. After such a strong build up from Book 1 to Book 2 I was hoping that this final book was going to knock me off my feet.

You might be asking yourself... "Why did you rate it 4 stars if it's not what you expected?" It's 4 stars because of the experience I had while reading, and at the end of the day the pros outweighed the cons.

I loved all of these characters! I loved the imagery I can create while reading. I listened to audiobook in the car, and when I tell you I was cackling at things that Ekon did, and the dynamic the group had between each other! I had a time reading and listening to this book.

I did want to list out my "cons"

Cons:
-The romance between Koffi and Ekon felt rushed/strained. Honestly didn't really expected to break threw to a romantic relationship *at all*. Yes, I know they had feelings for each other, BUT after everything that transpired it felt like Ekon was holding more of the romantic feelings to Koffi.
-The epic final fight scene that was being built up for the last 2 books was meh. To compare it to something. The Fantastic 4 movie from 2015 the final fight scene with the bad guy… that’s how this felt. Just lacking.
-Mekena and Safia felt like as the story progressed they became inferior side characters. Because wdym they’re in a secret relationship????

At the end of everything I did enjoy this entire series. Did everything transpire how I hope it did... no, BUT all together this was a fantastic trilogy that I will always recommend :)
