corcordium 's review for:
Savages
by Natalie Bennett
dark
fast-paced
natalie bennett is one sick and twisted motherfucker and sometimes, that's exactly the kind of content i'm in the mood to read. with that said, when going into her books you HAVE to leave your morals behind. the stuff that goes on in her books is always problematic, controversial and all those adjectives people like to usually throw. it's like a mix of dark romance with horror and gore. i'm talking straight up dismembering, cannibalism, rape, russian roulette with a gun up the vajayjay kind of sick.
my problem with this book was that bennett didn't fully develop the world nor the characters. the insta-love was another issue i had with this, because calista and romero's relationship went from 0 when they met to 100 in the span of days. my problem with the world building is that she introduces an interesting concept but never fully fleshes it out. is it dystopian, post-apocalyptic or paranormal?? we don't know cause she didn't spend the time focusing on that and the result is a very vague world with cults in what seems to be a barren planet earth. again, with a little bit more of content this would have been ten times better. i'll see if any of that gets explained in the next books.
