What a fantastic review Lashaan! I loved this sentence: “It’s only when we’re old enough to understand the world that we see where the true monsters lie: within us”. It’s scary, but sadly it’s definitely true as well. The premise for this book sounds amazing, terrifying and highly original. You can be sure that I’m adding this book to my to read list. Thanks for sharing this one as always! 😊
Thanks, Michel! I appreciate it a lot. 😁 I can assure you a thrilling adventure with this one, my friend. I was mindblown by how wonderful it is and how much it packed in just under 190 pages! I hope you can get around to it someday! 😁
I hope so too, I’ve got some cool DC things coming up in December though. They are presents for the Holiday we call Sinterklaas, on the 5th of December so I can’t yet show them to you….But…knowing your DC fandom…I think you will like those items😊
That is mysterious and exciting!!! Now I just need to calm down and be patient before finding out all the cool stuff you’re about to share with everyone! 😜
Indeed one of the best novellas I’ve read this year, and I can only agree on your definition of monster as you present it at the start of your review – the monster that lives inside us and, as the story teaches, can grow when feeding on hate. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Exactly! 😁 The parallels between man and monster in this story were fantastic! I’m curious if the author will dare write another story within this same universe in the future now! Thanks for reading, Maddalena! 😁
Thanks, Ola! Awww man, I wish you had gotten a copy of this one with The Seventh Perfection! I think you’d have fun with this one too! Hopefully, I’ll hear your thoughts on this one in the near future. 😁
Wow! With this kind of review I may have to seek this one out. I love when an author can pack so much into the smaller number of pages of a novella. Really enjoyed the review, Lashaan.
I can only highly recommend this little gem! It’s really as good as I’m trying to sell it in this review hahah Hope you get the chance to try it out soon, Todd! Thanks, as always, for reading! 😁
Great review and i’m so glad to see you give it such high praise and rating although I haven’t yet read it. Actually, I haven’t yet read any of Clark’s work but I SO plan to. He’s an author I’m really looking forward to reading. I think I’ll really dig his stuff. I’ve seen a couple author events and interviews with him that got me so curious about his work.
If his previous books are anything like this one, I am coooooooooonvinced that you will enjoy your time with these stories! Soooo good! 😍 Thanks for reading, Zezee! 😁
Thanks, Jee! I’m quite glad to have finally gotten around to this one. I knew it was going to be fantastic, and it helped that your review for it was sooooo convincing too! 😍
Wonderful review Lashaan! I don’t read much fantasy, but you’ve definitely made me curious about this one. On balance, I believe human beings are the biggest monsters you’ll find on earth. The amount of hate, spite and destruction we manage is really quite remarkable.
Thank you so much! I think many readers who don’t indulge too many fantasy/horror stories will appreciate this one for its unique and awesome take on history! And you perfectly worded it there. Let me assure you that this story will emphasize on just that… The amount of hate, spite, and destruction that humankind is capable of! 😛
Fantastic review Lashaan! It got me so excited to read this book, I hope it’s as good as the review that sold it to me 😂 Jokes aside, it really sounds like a very interesting yet entertaining book, so it’s going in my list straight away! 😊
YES! That’s what I want to hear hahaha I definitely recommend it and I hope you’ll have a blast with it if you get the chance to try it out in the near future, Juliette! 😀
You’re too kind! Thank you so much for dropping by and checking out my review for Ring Shout! It figured amongst my top 5 books read in 2020 without a doubt. Thank you for your kind words too. It made my day!!! 😀
