This is going to be short and sweet because I DNFed this book at 10 percent.I just was not in the mood for this book after the opening scene showed one of our two main characters (I don't know if there are anymore POVs or not) name Kate Harker setting fire to a church. We find out she is such a bada...

I have to admit, I was a third of the way done with the book before I actually got interested in it.This Savage Song is a good read, but doesn't quite have the appeal of Schwab's other works. It's an easy read, mildly entertaining, and doesn't assume the reader is hormonally-driven and requires an o...

4 1/2 starsGiven my current disillusionment with YA literature, I was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed this one.I know that Victoria Schwab said that there was no romance in this book, and that was part of the reason I gave it a chance, but it seemed to me that Kate and August had potential for...

Managed 141 pages but I'm bored. This book is not getting my attention at all. The world building is divided territories and monsters and the two factions who are in charge. Kate is the daughter of the baddie and August is the son of the goodie. The setting is bleak and dark, and whole Kate is a rea...

"we are the darkest acts made light" Let me preface this review with a confession. Victoria Schwab has me firmly within her ingenious literary grasp with her highly addictive, exceptionally written, blessedly unique and all around brilliant series A Darker Shade of Magic!! That most likely lead to...

This was so good. I need to read more monsters taking over the world books. The best part about this book? It has a boy protagonist and a female protagonist and they don't fall in love! But still, their relationship DOES work. Kate and August couldn't be so different yet so alike. Both are starti...

This Savage Song Part Romeo & Juliet without the romance. Part Godfather. Part Vampire: The Masquerade. This Savage Song is a slightly dystopian, young adult horror series featuring two kids caught between a monstrous war. It's a thoroughly enjoyable adventure with many creative elements littered th...

[I received a copy of this book through Edelweiss, in exchange for an honest review.]Took me a while to get to this one, I don't know why, so apologies to the publisher—I've had the ARC for a few months.I guess it didn't turn out like I thought, although I don't know what I expected. Something more....

Okay. It's official. Victoria Schwab is my favorite author for writing character. Every one of her books brings me characters I find interesting and engaging, and This Savage Song was no exception. Kate and August are complex and layered, with relatable motivations even when their actions might be l...
