The book of beasts john barrowman5/22/2023 ![]() The best things about the leads Matt and Em was the relationship between them but here they barely meet. The solutions were so easy I had to wonder why it took three books to get to them. There is the potential for some great showdowns here, Matt vs his father, all the characters against monsters but every issue is solved pretty easily. ![]() ![]() For the first three quarters of it almost nothing happens. My first problem with this book is the plot. Meanwhile his twin sister Em is on a modern day Scottish island trying to work out how to get to the middle ages and her grandmother (on her father's side) wants to use her for the same evil purposes as her father does. The book follows straight on from Bone Quill and sees Matt Calder stuck in the middle ages with his evil father who is planning to open the Hollow Earth and unleash a horde of legendary monsters upon humanity. ![]() The second book wasn't as good and gave us a huge cliffhanger. The Barrowman's Hollow Earth trilogy started really well with a great idea and some decent characters. It is very rare for me to give a really negative review of a book but sometimes I just can't help it. ![]()
