NOTE: What I’ve written below are just my opinions. Please do not let me sway you from reading this book. I gave it three stars simply out of my own feelings, so your own experience with this book might be different(I am notoriously picky).
Pros:
-The world building
-Interesting characters
-THE WORLD BUILDING!
-Fascinating mythology
-Interesting plot
Cons:
-Ceda had five (or more?) men in love with her or crushing on her at some point.
-Sex. I thought the sex scenes were unnecessary, but others might like them.
-There were a few parts where the results of the mystery were pretty obvious, and it dragged on a bit waiting for Ceda to catch on as we were dumped with myths or flashbacks.
Warnings:
-Sex
-Violence

Review of 'This Savage Song' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
Pros:
-No random romance
-Interesting concept and monsters
-Interesting characters. Even the side characters had distinct personalities and appearances.
-Interesting world
Cons:
NOTE: These cons are just my own personal opinion. Most people will likely disagree with me, so please don’t let my thoughts sway you from reading this book.
-I feel like there was a missed chance to include August’s friends later in the book.
-I didn’t like Kate for a lot of the book. She seemed like a bully having a temper tantrum with some of her actions. Later, though, she got more likeable for me.
-The opening did not hook me in.
-Predictable plot twists
