Have you ever wanted to escape to a world filled with magic and monsters from legends?
Beasts Made of Night can satiate this craving for grandeur. Beasts Made of Night is the first in a series of novels written by Tochi Onyebuchi. You follow a young man named Taj, who takes on colossal beasts and ¨consumes¨ the sins of their hosts. In a dystopian world, the poor are left to suffer from these inflictions, while royalty hires sin-eaters to cleanse them of it. However, royalty isn't as sin-free as the people think, and Raj stumbles upon many secrets on his journey to liberate his people. This book has a way of drawing the reader into the world and making the reader feel for the characters. I often found myself reading for hours, without even noticing the clock tick by. All in all, it was a great read, and I recommend this book to people who enjoy dark-fantasy books in a dystopian setting.
