I really tried my best to like this but I just didn't.
The first 100 pages were so slow that by the time the story picked up I just didn't care and wanted the book to be finished.
I didn't care about the main characters. Andrew was just so uninteresting and I hated how much he relied on everyone else. Thomas was a bit interesting but none of it was really explored.
I feel that twist came from nowhere and not in the good way, so much that it didn't really make sense. I felt that it was just added as the story wanted a twist.
I also still don't understand if the monsters were real, in Andrew's head or some sort of metaphor. And, if they were real, where these monsters came from.
So yeah, overall not a good review. I do feel that in writing this 3 stars was very generous and I may have to rethink that rating.
