A review by kjcharles
One Thousand Monsters by Kim Newman

Did not finish book.
Completely failed to find a way into this. I've read a couple in the series but the worldbuilding is now hugely complex and gnarly and I don't have the moral strength to find out who the giant cast all are.

I also read a book #16 or something in a romance series recently that did this. I get that existing fans will love all the passing mentions of the 40+ people from previous books, but it's a bit wearing for a newbie to the series, not to mention impenetrably dull.
