Kate and August's Earth isn't the same we all know. The geography has been written anew. The names of states and cities aren't one bit like their older ones. The culprit of this changes are the monsters... but it's better to say that the major fault is committed by men. The monsters are born from horrible act of violence: Corsai, Malachia and Sunai. 
 When Kate and August's paths collide things start to change and the false calm of Verity starts to crumble. 
 I liked this book a lot but I have to admit just one thing. Everyone was literally rambling how much great Schwab's books are and I can totally understand why, since this was a really good read, but also I feel like this isn't not something incredible and exceptional. 
 Also, I was expectation more from the monsters, that are actually quite lame in my humble opinion. Even the idea of the way they born is a bit o cliche, nothing incredibly original. I was waiting to read of something macabre and gore, something can could only be born from the some kind of horrible nightmare, something that can give you goosebumps and makes you want to puke... but the answer of all my hopes is: no. I blame the little ballad I read on the book's cover, that made the made them sound as something from another world when they're not. Yet, there's a really truthful statement with the whole nature of monsters, but a parte of me wasn't happy at all. And I want more monster. MORE MONSTERS. Why just three types? 
 What I really loved of this books is the lack of romance. Yes! Yes! 
 Yes! I needed and still need it like air. Put a stop to the love. Yes, I know: this is probably an unpopular opinion, but it's utterly unrealistic that every ya character/protagonist is going to find love or fell in love with someone else. 
 Also, I'm nearly an aromantic person that value friendship more than love, and after twenty-three years of life I'm still without a mate and I don't feel like I need one. So the lack of romance is important for me because I want to find more characters with whom I can relate, instead of see them kissing and saying how much their skin is hot, the lips are that and bla, bla, bla.... 
 I related quite well with both the main protagonists, and started to be obsessed with Sloan. But returning to Kate and August, I was glad to find them both really enjoyable. Their different POV's were good in equal measure. But here another unpopular opinion time: I like August but I prefer Kate over him. He's tormented about himself and that's quite natural and interesting at the same time, but Kate... She's aggressive, bold - even if sometimes she's faking it - and she's a fighter who is ready to steps back on her path and see her past again, choosing what is wrong and what is right. 
 All her anger made me remember myself, since sometime I still have bad anger issues. 
 Anyway This Savage Song was the novel I was waiting for and that also speak about truths about family, that kind of truths that people don't like to listen to. 
 After having read the end, I can't wait to have Our Dark Duet in my hands and I'm really curious to know what will happen next.
