Hunters of the Lost City by Kali Wallace
4.0
Nearly a month since I finished this and I FINALLY can sit down and actually write a review for this book. This is not because of the book itself, but because I have been so snowed under at work that I could barely read, never mind write a review. But now, I am on my Christmas break!
First of all, thank you to Kali Wallace and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Octavia has grown up in Vittoria, the last populated city after the rest of the kingdom was decimated in a horrific magical war. Outside the city walls, ferox roam and will attack anyone outside the city gates after dark. Octavia longs to be a hunter of ferox, but is being forced into another path after the death of her sister and the injury of her mother at the hands of a ferox. That doesn't stop Octavia roaming outside the walls though and is then that she encounters a girl who claims she is from another city. Who is telling the truth in this world?
I really enjoyed reading this novel and I know that a lot of my KS3 students would enjoy this too. It reminds me of a YA version of The Village and I think it is executed really well. All the characters are believable and you become really invested in the story. I highly recommend it.
