At first blush, I thought I wouldn’t like this novel only because the beginning was a bit slow. But like most novels, one needs to get past the 30% point before giving up. I’m glad I stayed the course.
The Kingdoms of Savannah reads like a gothic noir. It’s dark, it’s seedy, it’s suspensul, and reeks of corruption.
There are a number of characters in the novel. But only a select few are the major players. And those players really carry the story. For the most part, I liked all of the characters for their roles — whether it be villain or hero.
The plot contains a number of twists and that’s what kept me going forward. Other than that, there were a lot of hills and valleys. Patience pays off toward the end where the reader is rewarded with a somewhat unexpected outcome. Four satisfying stars.
I received a digital ARC from Celadon Books through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.
