Well. Oops. What an unexpected disappointment.

I’ve been really looking forward to this book specifically. So many people name it as their favorite in the Monstrous series, and I was soooo intrigued by Moth the first time I met him in The Rycke, and the combination of tropes looked right up my alley, too.
