gschuffert 's review for:

Beasts Made of Night by Tochi Onyebuchi
2.0

I thought the first part of the book, though slow, was really well done with a great premise, folk lore and sin-eating excitement. About halfway through its like the author didnt know how to finish the story and started to throw a bunch of random scenarios together [working for the king, falling in love in a matter of pages, training new recruits, joining a rebellion]. It all felt disjointed and jumbled together without real understanding of where the events will lead. I struggled to finish and skipped to the end just to be done.
