Only a Monster by Vanessa Len
3.0
3/5 Stars
Very on the nose with the Monsters vs Hero theme, which yeah this is YA but it was a bit much at times. I also had a LOT of 2nd hand embarrasment for the main character. Home girl just could not catch a break and was saying and doing some dumb shit. Like I know this whole world is new to her but damn can we not have some decorum with our panic and dumb decision making?
I liked all the characters, but damn everyone and everything including the plot was messy. I'm also not entirely sure how some of the time traveling rules work, I took a while to finish reading this so I don't remember specific examples, I just remember scratching my head a little at some rules about what can or cannot be done and when you can't exist.
Not a favorite, but I do like the endpaper art on the editions I have and I've already gotten a special edition of the 2nd book so I might as well keep going.
