Wow. This author just gets better & better. He has a way of connecting you so strongly to his characters, & just falling in love w/them completely. This was so beautiful to read, it was heartbreaking..if that makes sense lol This book makes you think about who the real monsters are. We always judge on appearance. If something is different, it makes us fearful. Some people who are afraid of those different from them can become monsters themselves. A monster can have 3 heads & be the nicest being ever. A human being can look like the nicest being ever, & be pure evil on the inside. So when you think of what the word monster means..which fits that definition better? The chapters alternate b/n Mirabelle, who is a “monster”, & Jem-a regular human girl who stumbled upon the monsters home w/her brother Tom. There are also chapters sprinkled in from Freddie’s POV. A boy who lives in the village whose father is on the council that keeps the covenant b/n the village & the monsters going. From the twins, the Uncle’s, Aunt Eliza, to Gideon..I loved the creativity & the uniqueness to each monster. I loved these characters, & reading about them. So atmospheric too, with the descriptive writing-from the characters, to things around them, what’s they’re doing, & the amazing house..I felt like I was there visiting, & experiencing it 1st hand. Mirabelle was an amazing character. I loved her so much. But my entire heart & soul belongs to Piglet. The monster locked in the house, that even the other monsters are scared of. On the outside he is terrifying. But on the inside he is so beautiful it makes me want to cry. What he can do is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. There are a few snippets from his POV too, & they always got me emotional-in the best ways. This book is more than it appears on the surface as well. Yes, it’s creepy, scary, & like a gothic fairytale..but at its core it’s beautiful, moving, deep, & full of life lessons-like about what a true monster is for example. I want more from this family so badly. I wish there were going to be more. This is a favorite author though, so I will always be on the lookout out for anything new from him. Highly recommend. Absolutely stunning cover by Edward Bettison, & beautiful illustrations throughout the book as well.💜
