4.0

Beasts of Prey is about a girl, indentured to a Night Zoo, and an aspiring warrior who join forces to take down a monster who has been hunting people for a century. While the beginning of the book is not slow, the eagerly awaited hunt takes its time to get underway. Once the forest scene starts, the mythical creatures are fascinating to read about. The male protagonist's personality is particularly interesting. There are some elements of the plot that are predictable but overall, this African mythology fantasy is a great read.
