This Savage Song is the newest novel by Victoria Schwab. It follows a human, Kate, whose father controls the northern part of Verity, and a monster, August, whose father controls the southern section. Verity is over run with monsters that are created by crimes. August and Kate will end up trying to prevent a war while each dealing with betrayals.
The story was extremely confusing at first; I almost put the book down because I was so confused. It takes about 20% for it all to start coming together. The writing itself, though, was very haunting yet beautiful which fit perfect with the story. The concept was unique and very enjoyable.
There is no romance between the characters which is extremely rare in YA. It was refreshing to see a guy and girl just be friends. The characters were also just realistic and lovable. They had such realistic qualities and I loved them both so much.
I would recommend this to fans of Cassandra Clare since both stories are urban fantasy and have a lot of similar elements.
4/5 Stars.
