A review by saucydryad
The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey
4.0
Took me a good few weeks to finish this book. The fault lies not in the writing, which was downright excellent, but in my own sensitivities. This is a dark, gruesome and gory tale, not for the squeamish or faint of heart... or maybe it is, since I'm both of those things yet still found myself drawn into the story not only for the resolution of the plot, but for the fate of various characters.
Beautiful, evocative prose. Grim, horrific subject matter. Fully drawn characters, flawed and wonderful and so very real.
Still not sure if I'll continue on in the series, but chances are good that I'll put on my big girl pants and do so; the characters are worth all of the dark and scary.
