Well built characters, fascinatic monsters, really good action writing and moving emotional beats. Would've loved more down time with some the characters as they bonded, though, but that would be it. Solid YA read.
Graphic: Addiction, Body horror, and Grief
Moderate: Child abuse, Death, Sexual assault, Suicide, and Religious bigotry
