After years of hearing most of my bookstagram mutuals sell how awesome her books are, I finally had the time to venture on my first Victoria Schwab read and here is how it went.

It was a fresh take on monsters versus humans, with a perfect blend of Romeo and Juliet, This Savage Song is an enjoyable read overall.

First things first, the plot is clearly well-thought-out as it greatly convinced me that there is a future world out there where Corsai, Malchai, and Sunai exists. It is the kind of book that provides information without even making you think otherwise because it is cleverly convincing and undoubtedly genuine.

I also took notice of that Romeo and Juliet vibe in the characters of Kate Harker and August Flynn. I like how this one offered a fresh take on the 'dystopian' craze by featuring a story that centered on monsters and how we define the word itself.

Though the main characters has minimal supporting casts, it never lacked on backstories that greatly contributed in making this book a fun and exciting read.

Overall, I enjoyed this book, honestly, and am on my way to reading the sequel already. I just hope this one ends good because with all the monsters and morbid adventures our MCs encountered, I think we deserve a nice conclusion for Kate and Freddie, er, August. Ciao.

RATING: 4stars
