A review by jainabee
My Favorite Thing Is Monsters Book Two by Emil Ferris

dark emotional mysterious fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Like a bottomless pit of mystery and wonder. So much is said in what isn’t said and shown in what isn’t shown. I could read this a million times and still be lost in the darkness.
