Rick Yancey brings his masterful
Monstrumologist series to a conclusion with
The Final Descent, n a story with uncommonly mature themes for a Young Adult novel: alienating the people you love, letting your humanity slip away, the price of
gazing long into the abyss. Event-wise, there is plenty to entertain, regardless of age, as the doctor and his protege seek to recover the last specimen of what may be the world's very first monster. But the examination of a young man plunging into his own heart of darkness offers a powerful and thoughtful read for teens and adults alike.
This volume stands out, but the entire series makes for great reading, whether or not it's Halloween.
