4 gnomes
out of 5 gnomes
I'm
a sucker for a series that has Greek mythology and I really like the
unique spin that this story takes with mythology.
Having
three sisters be the descendants of Medusa and destined to fight
monsters is a lot of fun. How they go about this is even more
interesting, having them have to actually bite the monsters makes for
some quite interesting encounters.
There
is some great description in the book especially with the monsters.
It's easy to picture how scary and gross these beasts would look.
Then there's the smell of each monster (I know that bad smells would
have me paranoid if I was them). San Francisco also starts to feel
like a character in the book as it seems that it's also monster
central.
Each
sister has their own unique voice and really helps the story. Three
differing points of view show you the three extremely different takes
that the girls all have on the same situation. I really didn't like
Greer at first but by the end she really starts to grow slowly but
surely as a character.
It
usually takes me forever to figure out plot twists so I was surprised
that I figured a couple out so fast like who would be someone
important. Also was wondering why one certain book would have just
so many answers and yet never been read by anyone.
It
feels like there is just so much left to discover. I'm very
interested in knowing what's up with Grace's brother Thane. Also I'm
wondering just how much the various gods are involved in this
universe. Then there's the wondering about why the monster patterns
are changing and if all monsters are truly evil.
The
ending was great and leads to the three looking like they all may be
willing to accept their destiny after all. I'm really looking
forward to the next installment in this series.
