cakt1991 's review for:
Beasts of War
by Ayana Gray
Ayana Gray’s Beasts of Prey trilogy comes to a great finish with Beasts of War. Gray’s writing skills have grown throughout the series, and this is her strongest offering yet.
The world building and mythology remain compelling, and I love the way the African influences come through in the text, such as the ship being named the Nzingha after the famous African Queen.
Koffi and Ekon remain compelling characters, and I love seeing their growth over the course of the series.
The quest plot to defeat Fedu forms a central part of the story, and the stakes are high. Compared to the prior books, the pacing was much more even, and I felt pretty consistently engaged throughout.
This was a great conclusion for a great series, and I’m excited for what Ayana Gray does next. If you’re looking for a culturally rich YA fantasy series, I’d recommend checking this out!
