If I could give this book more than 5 stars I absolutely would. I've been in love with this big scary, albeit naive, monster since book one and after finishing this book I love him even more

This book was amazing. I may be desensitized, but I didn't find this nearly as disturbing as many people make it out to be. I loved it nonetheless

This whole book was a nothing burger. I expected to enjoy it more than The Maidens but I don't think I did. The characters were unmemorable and the plot had no substance. I only finished this book to find out the ending and honestly I was unsatisfied. It was just interesting enough to make me want to finish reading but honestly I should have just looked it up. If you enjoyed it, more power to ya. But if you were to ask me I'd say don't waste your time.
