With her father’s knowledge of science and her special skills, they intend to bring the sick girls to the safety of Belladoma. Now she’s unrecognizable and has lost nearly all memories of her previous life. But Kymera and her father want to stop him – after all, the wizard killed the human Kymera once was. A sickness rages through the city, infecting only young girls, who the wizard then kidnaps for his own nefarious purposes. After all, he’s the one who made her – reanimated from different body parts – and gave her a mission to rescue girls in the nearby city from the clutches of a dangerous wizard. Speaking of unnatural things… Kymera, the patchwork girl-creature in Monstrous, thinks she is a monster: not human but not any one beast, feared by the people of Byre for her predatory instincts and frightening abilities. It’s been a while since I reviewed any children’s books, and that’s just not natural. (Be it known that I read an ARC of Monstrous and a few details may have changed since publication.)
