Koffi and Ekon remain central characters this time around, but as Koffi has been captured and Ekon is on a quest to rescue her, it presents an opportunity for new characters as well. I was particularly struck by how she drew from the Zulu warrior king and founder of the Zulu people, Sigidi kaSenzangakhona for the character of the same name in her narrative. While it is a fantasy, she borrows and pays tribute to elements of African history and myth, which she goes into in detail in her author’s note at the end. This is definitely a series so far where the positives and the negatives (of which there aren’t very many, to be fair) remain consistent across both books, so enjoyment of the first will likely translate into enjoyment of this one.Īs before, Ayana Gray shines in terms of world building. ISBN-13: 978-0593405710 | $18.99 USD | 461 pages | YA Fantasyīeasts of Ruin is a satisfactory follow up to the Beasts of Prey.
