I am so happy I was able to read Pet after Freshwater. I feel like this was much more digestable to read and a more enjoyable experience, with important lessons addressed.

General Description: Living in Lucille, Jam and Redemption have been taught there are no longer monsters, that the current day angels of Lucille are protecting everyone from the monsters. However, after Jam frees a creature from their mother's painting, who calls itself Pet, we learn Lucille still has monsters and they might be closer than we think. There are monsters in Redemption's house and Pet wants to get rid of them. Will Jam be able to help Pet get into Redemption's house to find and get rid of the monster?

What I loved:
- Jam, Pet, and Redemption I thought were all fantastic main characters. Each was extremely unique and I loved each of their journeys in this book.
- The overall messages this story has I thought were amazing. I thought talking about monsters, how kids interact with adults, and what to do when faced in a tough situation were great. Friendship is a huge theme that is also done well.
- The worldbuilding: now that we have Bitter, I feel like some of my questions will be answered, but overall, I feel like I understand the world.

The lose of one star: I really didn't get into this book until half way through. The beginning just felt slow and boggy, like walking through mud, but after I got through there, I flew through the book.

Summary: Push through! I feel like this is such an important book for all to read.
