To Be Released... This Savage Song

Image
Hello fellow readers and in lieu of my usual Goodreads Monday post I’m here to discuss a book by one of my favorite authors that will be coming within the next year— This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab.

But to claim it, he'll have to pull off a seemingly impossible heist: Break into the notorious Ice Court (a military stronghold that has never been breached) Retrieve a hostage (who could unleash magical havoc on the world) Survive long enough to collect his reward (and spend it) Kaz needs a crew desperate enough to take on this suicide mission and dangerous enough to get the job done - and he knows exactly who: six of the deadliest outcasts the city has to offer. Together, they just might be unstoppable - if they don't kill each other first. - goodreads.com summary “No mourners. No funerals. Among them, it passed for 'good luck.” INTRO I originally read Leigh Bardugo’s Grisha trilogy a few years ago. I only made it through the first two book before stopping so I was cautious ...
