I wasn’t lost or felt like it was over explained, which is nice.īut, one thing I wasn’t a fan of, was the beginning. The creatures in the Greater Jungle, how the magic works, the gods and how they created the world – all of it was so interesting to me and easy to get a grasp of. I will say, it was confusing for me at first to know what was going on because there was no indication of a switch at times, but once I got the hang of the different POVs and when they were switching, it mades things a bit easier.Īnother thing I really liked is all the lore behind the story. Adiah’s is set in an indiscriminate time, but we know it takes place before Ekon and Koffi’s because there’s magic in Lkossa and it’s practiced and trained openly. We get Ekon’s, Koffi’s, and a third POV – Adiah’s. One thing I liked about this book was the alternating POVs. But once our heroes head into the Greater Jungle, that’s when the fun really starts. It took a bit of time for things to pick up and the ball to start rolling. When I started reading this book, I was at about 3 stars because while the writing was good, there wasn’t much going on with the plot.
#Prey book ending series#
In this much-anticipated series opener, fate binds two Black teenagers together as they strike a dangerous alliance to hunt down the ancient creature menacing their home–and discover much more than they bargained for. But it quickly becomes unclear whether they are the hunters or the hunted. Koffi and Ekon–each keeping their true motives secret from the other–form a tentative alliance and enter into the unknowns of the Greater Jungle, a world steeped in wild magic and untold dangers. Meanwhile, Koffi believes finding the Shetani and selling it for a profit could be the key to solving her own problems.
Koffi’s power ultimately saves Ekon’s life, but his choice to let her flee dooms his hopes of becoming a warrior.ĭesperate to redeem himself, Ekon vows to hunt the Shetani down and end its reign of terror, but he can’t do it alone. In its midst, Ekon not only encounters the Shetani–a vicious monster that has plagued the city and his nightmares for nearly a century–but a curious girl who seems to have the power to ward off the beast.
But on the night of his final rite of passage, a fire upends his plans. But the night her loved ones’ own safety is threatened by the Zoo’s cruel master, Koffi unleashes a power she doesn’t fully understand–and the consequences are dire.Īs the second son of a decorated hero, Ekon is all but destined to become a Son of the Six–an elite warrior–and uphold a family legacy. Indentured to the notorious Night Zoo, she cares for its fearsome and magical creatures to pay off her family’s debts and secure their eventual freedom. Magic doesn’t exist in the broken city of Lkossa anymore, especially for girls like sixteen-year-old Koffi. This is a spoiler free, honest review and all thoughts and feelings are my own. Thank you to Penguin Teen and NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC for review. This was more of a slow intro, a book to take your time with, and then, when everything is set up, then the fun begins. But I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sucked into it like I thought I would be.
Penguin Teen hyped up this book so much! I was so excited for it, I snagged it when they offered it to me and couldn’t wait to start reading.
