Miro's Ordinary Monsters is a sweeeping dark tale of power, villainy and villains. I love how he plays with what the reader will see as heroism vs villainy. There is a touch of X-Men influenc here and I love that.
Stories that deal with found and chosen family, morally grey characters, vulnerable characters, evil intentions, greed, and loss will always be a draw to me. The only thing I can say that is a drawback to this book is its length.
It deals with complicated relationships and identity, and is very atmospheric. Suitable for fall reading as a Halloween-esque read.
I also spotted that LOTR FOTR scene. IYKYK.
