A review by tuckeralmengor
The Monster of Elendhaven by Jennifer Giesbrecht

3.0

Many thanks to Tor.com for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review

Dang, this was dark.

I'll be honest... I completely forgot about this ARC. It sat on my shelf for months.... but then I heard it was gay and my interest was peaked so I picked it up. After all, it was short so if I hated it... it's not like I would have wasted that much time.

Fortunately, I didn't hate it. But I didn't love it either. This book follows a man. A man without a name, a monster who cannot die. He, along with his frail master, go about taking their revenge on everyone in the city, even if they have to burn the world to do it.

Again, neither hated nor loved this book. It was very dark and unsettling but it was still a bit of a letdown.

All in all, I would say that this is worth a try. It may not be mind-blowing and amazing but it's nice and short. Basically, this book is a lil bite sized snack for those looking for those looking for a quick horror story!
