Beasts of Ruin by Ayana Gray
3.5
The mist shrouded the garden, making it impossible to sense where she was. It almost called to her in a way, even though danger lurked in its clutches. She felt her power warm her from within, a striking contrast to the coolness of the mist. She would find her way out, even if it was the last thing she’d do.
Beasts of Ruin is the sequel to Beasts of Prey (which I loved). It picks up right where the first book leaves off, continuing the journey of Koffi and Ekon.
I wanted to love this one and I was so excited after the first book leaves the reader on a cliffhanger, but I have to say this book fell into the second book syndrome for me. It just felt like mostly filler and the plot moved along at a snail’s pace. I also wasn’t sure of the point of Binti’s point of view and would have preferred just Ekon and Koffi’s storylines. I still love these characters and the plot is still intriguing to me, so I definitely want to read book three, because I think it’s really going to be a winner for me!
If you’re a YA fantasy fan, love forbidden magic and quest plot lines… then I’d recommend this series!
