A review by stressedspidergirl
The Hyena and the Hawk by Adrian Tchaikovsky

3.0

I didn't like the twist of the story, if I'm being honest. I think if the 'villains' of the piece had been different, and the severing of the soul self, a lot of this took a much darker turn and I didn't enjoy it a whole lot.

I was okay with the ending and how things wrapped up in that regard, I just... find it odd that the other society is the total opposite in a way and the bug people kind of thing? I guess. It wasn't ideally what I would expect from what I thought was a historical fantasy setting kind of like the Black God.
