"Review"
This is an amazing book. Meg is an amazing characters. Over the last few years I have been really disappointed in the writing of female characters. Ether the characters are whinny, uncertain, and immature or she is overly masculine, mannish, and unbelievable as a rounded female character. Meg on the other hand is a well balanced character who is both strong and feminine, intelligent and innocent. She is a compelling focus for the novel which leads the reader down a unique vision of how the world would be if monsters truly excited.

I have now read all three of the books that have come out sense 2015, and they are all just as good as the first one. The writer, she has created a world that is interesting and unique for her readers. The secondary characters feel real and complete. The story is strong and pulls the readers through the book all the way to the last page.

I give this book 9 out of 10.
