I am very pleased that this novel turned out to be just as enjoyable as I was expecting. After seeing great reviews for this novel all over social media I had the opportunity to read the authors second novel, The Island. That paticular book was a train wreck which obviously put me off reading S.T.A.G.S. However I conceded and eventually read it.
I am glad that I read this novel as it is a totally different reading experience to reading The Island.
The three main characters (the savages) are likeable and you really root for them throughout the book. The Medievals are not as likeable but draw you in just as they are meant to.
The plot was split into three parts which I found refreshing and easy to follow. The suspense kept me reading and turning the pages to discover the secrets.
My only negative point about this novel is that I would have appreciated a trigger warning for suicide. It is not a subject I enjoy reading about due to a personal experience so a trigger warning at the start of the novel would have prepared me for the situation.
