Of Monsters Of Kings starts out in a dystopian style world 1200 years after "The End". There's gangs, breeding pens, and walled cities. I thought I knew what I was getting into, but not was I wrongπ
Once Patch's mom does, she starts to go through this transformation of turning into a true monster. We go from dystopian world, to magical Victorian era fantasy! I loved the transition and how the farther I got into the book, the more "ancient" and Victorian it became. Patch never sacrificed her choice or her will though. She stayed true to who she is, even though her body and spirit went through some insane changes.
The world and story itself went into enough detail for me to understand what's going on in the *now*, but has me extremely curious and needing to know more about the past and what lays ahead. I loved this book, but feel like I missed a lot of little hints just trying to understand what everyone was saying π
Now, the Princes and the Kings. Each one has good and bad qualities and I liked d that it was clear they were just as lost as Patch was but in very different ways. I can't wait to see what the Princes decide, how the Kings take it, and what becomes of King See and Patch. I loved them together but See has some seeing to do towards himself if he thinks Patch will just hand herself over ππ»ββοΈ I'm excited to see where the series goes, especially with that cliffhanger, and I have high hopes for it!
Thank you SO much RRBookTours and the author for the gifted copy!π€

A simple thing, really, how I came to know of monsters. People were monsters.
Maybe they didnβt realize that every light was possible because of a darkness.
βShe blinds me, and yet I know she is my possibility.β
βWhy cling to the benchmark of an unblemished surface for myself when I delight in viewing the stories on a surface dented, scratched, and singed?β
