After seeing the tale unfold before his eyes on one unfortunate night, Jacob starts to wonder if the tales his grandfather had told as a child were truly true.
Tag along alone on a adventure to the island where you will meet some very friendly peculiars and unravel a past that Jacob has never dreamed of knowing.
Thoroughly enjoyed the characters and their peculiarities. Reminded me muchly of Percy and the Olympians and the adventure of discovering who Jacob is.
Being honest, I saw the movie years ago and fell in love with seeing the characters come to life on the screen. The book however gave me a deeper understanding of the past and characteristics of the characters.
Moderate: War, Violence, and Death

- Liked how interesting the characters and the world building was.
- The images added in were very creative and I found it inspiring
- The only thing I didn’t like was the amount of characters and it was hard to remember who was who

I didn’t mind not having the pictures, since they were what made me DNF the book a few years ago. They don’t bring anything to the story anyways.
Even listening on the down low while grocery shopping and stuff, I found a way to be bored by it. Definitely won’t be reading the rest of the series.
Moderate: Violence, Ableism, and Body horror
Minor: Sexism
