The reader is immediately pulled onto the battlefield, with Todd and The President, as war is approaches, the new enemy the indigenous populous of the colonised planet, an enemy that the settlers thought they had eradicated from the face of the planet. Monsters of Men picks up our story from where The Ask and The Answer left us – no time has passed at all, so the reader is thrown straight back into the melting pot. We all know that Patrick Ness is a remarkable talent, his writing transports it’s readers to another time and another place, with breathtaking ease Ness is able to whisk his readers into stories which consume them, that become otherworldly – and more importantly become stories which can change people, more often than not his writing challenges societal norms and have a moral. Wilson and The Maze Runner Series by James Dashner. Ideal for fans of The Hunger Games by Susanne Collins, The Extinction Trials by S.M. It’s a triumph and a remarkable young adult series – with astonishingly wonderful characters, a world which is rich and detailed and a story which you can lose yourself in. Monsters of Men is a conclusion of an epic trilogy, one that I firmly believe that everyone should read, both young readers and older readers, it’s an astonishingly brilliant story which speaks as much of our times as it does of the world and times of which Ness has painstakingly brought to life.
