Surprisingly funny and hard to put down. Novik has created a really dark and fun magical world where teenagers have to fend for themselves in order to survive until Graduation, when they'll have to fight to finish school.

Eh.

Would not recommend...unless you want to wait a year for the sequel...omg

The first in a planned trilogy, and one I'll definitely be continuing - Only A Monster takes the time travel trope and turns it on its head. I loved the mechanics of the travelling, simple to understand but still engaging. Definitely appeals to the more YA side of things, but this isn't a bad thing. The book ends in a tantalising note that leaves me keen to see where (and when) the author is going to take us next.
