If L. Penelope writes it, I’ll read it! Savage City follows Talia, who after her untimely death finds herself in a strange city. There, Talia is a match for a missing princess and she must take on the princess’ identity for her own safety. With the help of the healer Ryin, Talia must learn to navigate the strange new world she has found herself in. However, not everyone believes that she is the princess, and if she is found out then she will face the wrath of the king. 

This was a solid start to the series, with lots of important world-building taking place. I love L. Penelope’s fantasy writing, which is always very vivid and satisfying.The story and romance was pretty fast-paced, but I enjoyed it. I’m curious to see where L. Penelope will take the series next! Savage City is available now. Thank you to L. Penelope, Heartspell Media, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
