I loved The Knife of Never Letting Go, was blown away by The Ask and the Answer, and so it’s only natural that I had incredibly high expectations for Monsters of Men – especially considering it’s the final book in the series. Why did I read this book: If you didn’t know, I’m a huge fan of this series. How did I get this book: Review copy from the UK publisher
