A review by alongreader
Here There Are Monsters by Amelinda Bérubé

3.0

Skye is tired of looking after her younger sister Deirdre. Precious Deirdre who can never get her head out of her strange fantasy worlds, who always seems set apart. Skye's tired of playing along and protecting her, so when Deirdre doesn't come inside one evening Skye just leaves her and falls asleep.

And wakes up to discover Deirdre is missing. Now she'll have to go deep into the heart of those almost forgotten games to reclaim her. And it will cost her dearly.


The summary made this book sound amazing, and there's nothing wrong with it exactly. It's just not for me; I couldn't get into it, I thought it dragged, I wasn't really interested in what happened next. I think it'll do very well in the right hands; sadly, those hands are not mine.
