Excuse me while I sit in denial that this trilogy is over.

What a fantastic conclusion!! Beasts of Prey was one of my favorite books the year I read it, partially due to the completely immersive world, but mostly because Koffi and Ekon felt so real to me. I read so much that it's rare for characters to stick with me, but they're both characters that I think of them all the time. Ayana Gray did them both such a service with this book; I truly cannot think of a better way for their story to have ended.

Without going into spoilers or plot-specifics, this was perhaps one of the most fun books I've read in a long time. The mythology, the banter, the setting, Ayana Gray's flawless playlist; they all created such an enjoyable reading experience that led to me flying through this book. Despite my sadness that it's over, I can't help but feel like the story met such a satisfying end.

Beasts of War cemented this as one of my favorite YA trilogies of all time. I will happily continue to recommend it to everyone.

Now, I shall return to anxiously awaiting an announcement for whatever Ayana Gray is working on next because I will - in fact - read everything that woman writes for the rest of time.
