The last book was everything this amazing series deserved and was really an homage to the heartbreakingly complicated relationship between Will Henry and the Doctor. "It was so hard to finish this book knowing it was the end of the series.
Warthrop and his eager new assistant Arkwright embark on a quest to find the “Holy Grail of Monstrumology.” But when Arkwright returns with news of the doctor’s demise, Will sets off on his own quest, to the Isle of Blood, to determine the truth. In the series’ third entry, Will Henry is left behind as Dr. Printz Award for the stunning first entry in his Monstrumologist saga. But it is Will Henry who grows in this story, as he starts truly becoming a man.This is a wonderful book, and readers will yearn for the next in the series.Rick Yancey won the Michael L. Warthrop is gorgeously complex-at turns petulant and enthusiastic, selfish and giving, frighteningly intelligent, then blinded by ambition. The characters, their relationships, and the moral dilemmas they face, however, are the true hub of the story. The details are gruesome and horrific and not for the squeamish. The language is perfect, era-appropriate, and wryly humorous.
"An excellent addition to an amazing series. "A wonderful mix of period fiction and gothic horror"- The Horn Book He deftly blurs lines between science and the supernatural, and what results is a long, dark-night-of-the-soul journey for both Will Henry and Pellinore that is certain to turn the hearts and the stomachs of every reader who dares open its pages."- Kirkus Reviews, starred review His 19th-century dialogue and descriptions run even smoother than the previous two titles, and his characters have grown deeply complex. * "Articulately literary, horrifically grotesque and mind-bendingly complex, Yancey’s trilogy conclusion might be the best of the Monstrumologist trilogy. * "The relationship between Will and his master has never been more complex.Yancey’s skill as a stylist cannot be denied."- Booklist, starred review
