Great world building. Vivid descriptions. Magic. A daring adventure. What’s not to love? I thoroughly enjoyed Beasts of Prey. My favorite parts took place in the jungle. The author did well really bringing it to life and capturing the dangers within. Koffi and Ekon were both likable characters, each with their own strengths. I enjoyed seeing them recognize and appreciate one another’s strengths as their bond grew. Now I just need to wait til book 2 so I can know what happens next!

Beasts of Prey was an interesting, magical story influenced by various African tales. It took me a minute to get all the characters straight, but once I did, I flew through this story. I loved the inclusion of gods and goddesses. I would've loved to see a little more of the magic being used in the story, but seeing as there will be more books (or at least one more) to follow...maybe the Splendor will be used more later on. I really liked the connection to the true (and horribly sad) story of the lions "The Ghost and the Darkness." That's one of my favorite movies and it was neat to see the connection in this book! I kind of hoped for a different ending, but it will be fun to see where Ayana takes this story!

I really enjoyed this, though I thought it took a little too long to get into the meat of the plot. I loved the characters and the decision to give a main character neurodiversity that's so well woven into who he is. The world building is great and really well delivered
