Told in the perspective of three characters, Beasts of Prey primarily follows Koffi and Ekon, on their quest to find the Shetani — a vicious monster that’s responsible for the death of many in Lkossa. Koffi’s determined to buy her and her mother’s freedom from the Night Zoo, whereas Ekon wants to avenge his father, and to prove he’s worthy of being a Son of the Six.

I don’t even know where to begin with my Beasts of Prey review. To be quite honest, I really struggled with it in the beginning — I’m not the biggest high fantasy reader, and the worldbuilding didn’t really make sense to me until I was a good chunk of the way through the book. Once I did get a grasp of the magic system, I found that I really enjoyed it.

Although the story is a little predictable (and I really didn't find the romance subplot between Koffi and Ekon to be necessary at all), I did enjoy this book overall and would recommend it to readers who like fantasy more than I do!
