Festergrimm by Thomas Taylor
4.0
4.5 Stars
Festergrimm, by Thomas Taylor: The return of an old foe launches Herbie and Vi into another adventure deeply linked to the tale of Festergrimm and his waxworks.
Ahh, so Shadowghast may have taken this series to the next level, and Festergrimm grabs this momentum and continues running with it. Taylor’s prose is, again, atmospheric and engaging.
Taylor manages to impress again with his expansion of what we think we know about Eerie-On-Sea. From the Festergrimm legend, to the Waxworks, and to more about the town and it’s resident’s history. Prior to this book we learn there is a special secret in Eerie-On-Sea and it is somehow connected to Herbie, and this book seems to take this further by tying together that which we have learnt and by giving us more pieces as to where the story might go next!
With this being the penultimate book in the series a lot of things start coming together and yet there is still a lot to be unravelled! Festergrimm is a heart-felt story that is still impressively twisty, and it has left me desperately wanting the final book so that I can return to Eerie-On-Sea and learn even more!!
I truly adored this story, I absolutely loved seeing how the characters have grown over the course of the series, and cannot wait to see what Taylor brings us next!
I highly recommend this series to fantasy lovers of all ages! Especially those who enjoyed A Series Of Unfortunate Events, and/or Professor Layton’s Games!
