A review by illstoptheworldandreadwithyou
The Beasts We Bury by D.L. Taylor
4.0
The heir to the throne thinks she’s working to prevent war by aiding a young man, who’s posing as a servant in her father’s castle.
The young man is doing what he can to protect himself and his friends, performing multiple jobs that will add up to a major heist for a man he’s not entirely sure he can trust.
She’s filled with an army’s worth of animals, a spirit for each and every animal she has (unwillingly) killed with her own two hands, but all she wants is peace.
He wants revenge against her father, but the more he gets to know her, the more he wonders if more violence is really the answer.
This dual POV, YA fantasy novel is full of secrets, the fierce loyalty of found family, feelings of betrayal, moral dilemmas, and a hint at the blush of young love.
Brenda Scott Wlazlo and Jake Chronister do an excellent job of capturing the youthfulness of the characters in their audiobook narration.
I received an advance copy of the audiobook from Macmillan Audio. All review opinions are my own.
