Ms Mayne cannot possibly write fast enough! But at least I got to gobble up book 4 in the series (in 1 day). Can't wait until the next one comes out!

Amazing Series!
This series- which started with an amazing book (Wyn’s story)- keeps getting better and better. Gloam was fantastic! So many emotions in this story.

This series is highly recommended. Must be read in order.

This is the first book in the Monstrous series that resonated for me beyond an interest in the world-building.
It still has some of the things that bugged me in the first few books (particularly repetitive sex scenes subbing in for actual character growth, plot, and/or world-crafting, along with quite a bit of journeying across The Wastes), but something about Rig's relentless optimism and the unfolding of his relationship with Gloam on paper worked for me much more than the Gary Stu-esque Danny ...more
