Schwab novel before – A Darker Shade of Magic – and while I enjoyed it, I’ve never really felt the immediate urge to finish the series. I really had no idea what to expect going into this novel. But Kate discovers August’s secret, and after a failed assassination attempt the pair must flee for their lives. When the chance arises to keep an eye on Kate, who’s just been kicked out of her sixth boarding school and returned home, August jumps at it. One who can steal a soul with a simple strain of music. All August wants is to be human, as good-hearted as his own father, to play a bigger role in protecting the innocent-but he’s one of the monsters. All Kate wants is to be as ruthless as her father, who lets the monsters roam free and makes the humans pay for his protection. Kate Harker and August Flynn are the heirs to a divided city-a city where the violence has begun to breed actual monsters. In this dark urban fantasy from author Victoria Schwab, a young woman and a young man must choose whether to become heroes or villains-and friends or enemies-with the future of their home at stake. There’s no such thing as safe in a city at war, a city overrun with monsters. Dark, violent and monstrous, the novel is a real slow-burn that leaves you wanting to know more. This Savage Song is a uniquely peculiar novel that cleverly combines magic, monsters and music. Living hurts.” (This book is part of #TheReadingQuest – Category: First Book in a Series) “You wanted to feel alive, right? It doesn’t matter if you’re monster or human.
