A review by clare_braganza
The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey

5.0

I loved this book so much! It is set in Victorian times, which Rick Yancey vividly shows through his writing style and the dialogue, and the story is fast-paced with lots of action and mystery. I couldn't put it down! As soon as I finished, I ordered the next two books in the series! Some scenes are truly terrifying and there is certainly a lot of gore, but I wouldn't let that put you off because there is some comedy as well. I love the links Yancey put in with the American Civil War and Darwin, and he explains everything so scientifically that you could almost believe that monsters are real! (And maybe they are....)
