The Last Monster by Ginger Garrett, Dinara Mirtalipova

4.0

Received this book as an ARC, and I'm very glad I did. Both moving and funny, The Last Monster features Sofia, who has already faced down cancer and her own mortality. There are a lot of books about going through trauma, but The Last Monster is about what comes afterward, and it doesn't shrink from talking about loneliness, guilt, and fear. The monsters themselves could almost be an afterthought, but they too are painted vividly; these creatures, drawn from old stories, are wonderfully and memorably strange! I would definitely recommend picking up the final version when released in 2016.
