Book: Monsters of Men
Author: Patrick Ness
Format: Paperback
Rating: 5/5
Review: This is the final book in the ‘Chaos Walking’ trilogy and my God it was a wild ride. Now with chapters, these are really long, and usually, it’s 1 perspective per chapter but here we had multiple perspectives per chapter. Not only do we experience the voice and thoughts of Todd and Viola, but also of an important Spackle too and readers will be aware of who this is. I feel that there is so much character development in this novel and that’s for so many characters including Mayor Prentiss but his character is still left so ambiguous, and I questioned what was real and what was fake with him and that made him a great villain character for the whole trilogy. I will also say now that this book contains a lot more death and violence and you really get into the heart of war here. There are many twists and turns and unexpected moments which can make the book quite tense in places and some parts are even irritating, so this book really gets you emotionally in some places, especially with the development of the relationship between Todd & Viola. Overall, I really did enjoy this book and this trilogy as a whole and I definitely recommend these books, even despite the semi-ambiguous ending.
