 Review: I am honestly so glad I got to read this book this year. Because I loved it. I literally loved it, from beginning to end. I am also glad that I was recommended to read it because it would be such a waste and unfortunate not to read this kind of book. 
 "Corsai, Corsai, tooth and claw, 
 Shadow and bone will eat you raw. 
 Malchai, Malchai, sharp and sly, 
 Smile and bite and drink you dry. 
 Sunai, Sunai, eyes like coal, 
 Sing you a song and steal your soul." 
 This Savage Song is a book of monsters. It has fantasy/dystopia elements, constant action, diverse set of characters, and incredible setting. The city, Verity, was divided into 2 parts, South City and North City, with a truce promised, and also with monsters wandering around. This book kind of reminded me of An Ember in the Ashes/A Torch Against the night and Legend trilogy. 
 The writing was so wonderful, I thought that it was one of the things that I loved about this book. The writing kept me going and got me addicted. I was very entertained by what Schwab has got to give. It's like a drug, you get me? I'm looking forward to reading her other books because this first one, I really liked. 
 It exceeded my expectation for the plot. I would honestly say that it wasn't at its most original, but I think it was important to justify that there was something to see and I did see it. Because this year, I have read many shitty books that didn't worth my money and time and gave horrendous plot and characters. With incredible setting along with actions in it, I totally admire what's in this book. Fighting scenes were amazing and it inserted a bit of creep in each one. I most importantly loved what the ending's offered--an evil cliffhanger, which pushed the ego and desire for the next book. 
 I was so proud of what I have seen in these two main narrators and protagonists. And I like reading about them with no romance even though I lowkey ship them. I supposed I wanted them to stay this way because a relationship would ruin the entire thing. Kate Harker and August Flynn were supposed to be enemies as they are heirs to different part of the city. Kate was ferocious, ruthless, and strong for a female character. She wanted to be like her father, made him proud, but he didn't appreciate it. August was a very soft-hearted and gentle. He wanted to protect the innocents, being a mysterious, rare, dangerous monster himself. I liked the fact that he didn't want to be a monster he was. 
 Overall: I loved this book. I loved that it entertained me so much with the writing, crept me out with the fighting, and the characters who aren't especially involving with sexual relationship with each other, aren't whinny or annoying.
