charlotte_fantasticalreading 's review for:
Beasts of Prey
by Ayana Gray
Just some random thoughts, because I'm not one for writing coherent reviews xD
- Pacing was seriously off imo. Not much happened for the first 70% of the book so it was rather boring to read. It picked up a bit in the end thought.
- Nothing intrigued me about this book. The "twists" that happened, I saw coming from miles away. Every single one of them! The magic was too flat, the world was too flat and I think much more could have been done with it.
- I didn't care about either of the main characters. They were always making stupid decisions and there motivations were very one dimensional.
- I found the writing to be repetitive. Almost every change between POV's had a bit of overlap of things that were already said in the other POV.
- Very info dumpy. The characters never found things out themselves. There was always something telling them the history and lore or giving them the explanations.
- The world could have been really interesting and intriguing, especially the jungle part, but the author didn't get into enough depth with it.
- This book could have benefited from an extra round of typo checks. It is not often I find so many words missing or double words. It definitely pulled me out of the story.
