Todd and Viola caught in a battle for survival

Monsters of Men - Patrick Ness

 

Image result for crying gif

 

So good.... 

 

Todd trying to save everyone and Viola want to save everyone too especially Todd. 


The story starts with the settlers landed on a planet that have a weird form of communication. That one could hear another human or animal talk, mind reading. 

 

That only affected the men and not the women. 

 

And now, the mayor, the leader of men and the Mistress, the leader of the women joined in to fight against the natives who they have used as slaves before. 

 

In the middle of it all is a love story between a boy Todd, who is the descendant of the first generation of settlers, and Viola who is the scout ship member to see if the planet is ready for another batch of settlers. 

 

So good. So very very good. 

 

This is when peace if finally possible that things started to go wrong. So very very wrong. 

 

5 stars. 

 

Reading this for Monsters square.
