A review by hckilgour
Beasts of War by Ayana Gray
Did not finish book. Stopped at 11%.
I got 49 pages in before dnf’ing.
I do want to start by saying this book has a lot going for it, but it just isn’t really for me.
I remember liking Beasts of Prey when that came out. But then Beasts of Ruin fell so flat. To the point I don’t actually remember what happened in that book. Which majorly played into me dnf’ing this book.
I don’t connect with Koffi at all. To me she just reads as very juvenile. Fedu reads as a creep, but seeing as he’s this villain, I feel like that’s more intentional. For Ekon he has anxiety and a very specific way of dealing with it.
I love the world with its African setting and base. It’s great. But it doesn’t make up for the characters for me.
