The Devourer by Alison Ames
4.0
adventurous dark slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This horror fantasy was an interesting adventure. The main character is hell-bent on revenge and has to deal with the consequences of her obsession. I thought the romance aspect would play a larger role, but it's more a throwaway than anything. I enjoyed the complexity of the characters and thought that the creature design was incredibly unique. I am not a pirate book girl but I really enjoyed this one.

Disclosure: I received a gifted ARC and eARC from the publisher.
