![]() ![]() It took me some time to piece together the parts of the story and understand how they worked together. Think the spiders from Lord of the Rings but with a human torso and human feet! And genuinely, there are some really scary creatures in this book. However, Beasts of Prey does a great job of keeping the suspense but also not featuring harm to animals – terrifying beasts or otherwise. I don’t know why I keep choosing books that have animals that might come to harm because it genuinely stresses me out. But when Ekon allows Koffi to escape from the Night Zoo and is shamed and forbidden from completing his entry into the warrior class, Ekon and Koffi unwillingly team up to hunt down the Shetani – the most feared beast in the land. ![]() Ekon is just one task away from finally becoming a Son of the Six, an elite warrior. Now she must journey into the Greater Jungle to face the most dangerous beast in the land. But just when freedom is almost within their grasp, a dangerous power Koffi doesn’t truly understand, let alone know how to control, changes everything. She and her mother are just months away from paying off their family debt and finally free themselves from the Night Zoo, where they work as beast keepers. Beasts of Prey is set in an African-inspired fantasy world (and I loved that the author shared the significance of the mythology, culture and languages used in the world in her author’s note). Putnam’s Sons Books for Young ReadersĪ lush fantasy, Beasts of Prey is a beautiful as that cover (prettyyyy….).
