It was kind of interesting and funny. I really enjoyed reading Morgella growing up and what Delliah teached her. But i felt like it went very quick too, maybe too quick sometimes.

It’s the prequel to an existing trilogy called the trilogy of Morgalla.

And I’m happy that I read this book before the series 🤗

I liked it.

i really thought this was a great start to a series, the characters were great and I really enjoyed going on this journey and the world itself. I look forward to more in the series.

DNF @ 25%. Unfortunately this was a miss for me. At 25% there was very little story, no character development and nothing to make me want to keep reading. As stated by other reviewers the are pages of info dumping and lots of telling as opposed to showing. Just didn’t work for me.

I really wanted to like this book because it had everything I enjoy. Female leads, demons, challenges and everything else that makes a good story about a bad ass female. However, I found it really hard to get into this book due to way it was written. The constant dumping of info and dull characters really hurt my heart, everything about this was uninteresting. I had to force myself to push through it just to give a review as promised. I know what the author was going for, but I think he should take more care on world building and character development that doesn't just tell us what's happening. Show us! I really think this book and author has potential if you just do some reading of other novels in similar themes.

I didn’t realize The Savage Peak was a prequel until I’d already received it so my main concern was getting lost in aspects of the world established in the main series.

It turns out I had nothing to fear there because this entire book is just a 200 page info dump. One of my biggest pet peeves as a teenaged YA reader is how wildly inaccurate characters ages feel. This MC is described as a teenager but acts more like an 8 year old. Literally every other sentence she says is a question because she’s so consistently confused. There’s such a heavy amount of info dump that I can’t even begin to wonder what must happen in the main series because this book assumes you know nothing.

And it’s not just the world building, it’s basic common sense. I think the whole “show don’t tell” thing is given too much importance because on occasion it’s okay just to tell, but this book is literally all tell because the author doesn’t trust you. It means you end up with sentences like “she didn’t say anything, not knowing what to say” because drawing conclusions on your own must be avoided at all costs.

If you can’t tell, I couldn’t get into the writing style at all and won’t be reading the rest of the series.
