The second book in a series is very important. Can the author sustain the character and plot development ? Can the author maintain the quality of writing ? In this series, yes, she can !  Monsters is a great continuation of Wolves.This is a captivating story, blending Norse mythology with a contemporary Chicago setting. Fortunately, the ADUO, Department of Anomalous Devices of Unknown Origin, already exists ..... they are certainly going to need it. Things are about to get a whole lot busier .....The plot thickens -- What is the red mist ? Who is Cera ? What is the World Seed ?Loki is quite a complex character. As the evolution of his current incarnation is expanded upon, I became ever more sympathetic to all that he has suffered and lost ..... "Losing a child seems to tear against the order of the Universe" ..... Though his revenge seems rather extreme to me, he has been designated the "Destroyer of Gods and Bringer of Ragnarok" and he regards this as his sacred duty .....Amy is sweet, sensitive, intelligent and more than a little naive. Beatrice is a delight and Fenrir is, well, Fenrir .....This book is great fun with clever, quirky characters, has a creative story arc and is entertaining every step of the way !** This series must be read in order ! **** There is an appendix/glossary at the end of Fates/Book IV that is immensely helpful keeping all those gods and goddesses  straight**.** "Like" CG on facebook - it's fun !
