At first I wasn’t into this one, but after I settled into the rhythm I was a fan. I think I just have to remember that YA pacing and depth are not always the same as non-YA, so I just had to adjust. Once I did, I found I really enjoyed the world. The choice to call Joan and her family “monsters” was an interesting one, normally you would see some made up word to describe a different species. The twists and turns were fun, even if I still had a lot of questions by the end. I think I’ll read the sequel, just to see where it goes next!
