### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fantasy Horror with a supernatural twist
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 November 2022*

By a Scottish loch is the Cairndale Institute, where children with special gifts are gathered, these “Talents” walk a line between death and life with abilities to heal themselves, transform their bodies and bend reality. Two orphans, Charlie and Marlowe are two such Talents, collected and taken to the institute, there they will find out who they are and who or what is chasing them.The story travels from Dickensian London in all its squalor to the America’s and beyond in the 1880’s, it is a full of suspense, supernatural forces, it is fantasy horror and it is glorious. The world building is detailed and the characters compelling and complex. The middle quarter of the book is slower paced after the frenetic first half and the explosive finale but I like that, I enjoyed the back stories of the characters, what they had endured, where they came from. This is book one but could be read as a stand-alone, personally after the events at the end of this book I cannot wait for the next one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Enjoyable read if a bit slow to begin with
  

*by L***G on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 March 2023*

Took me a while to pick this up but I was glad I finally did and I'll definitely read the next instalment.It was a slow burn opening I found so I'd recommend people sticking with it - it gets better.Could have done with a bit more depth of characters, could have done more with Jacob Marber and Coulton in particular.Overall though it was a very good read, original enough premise. I also tend to balk at fantasy with kids as the central characters - especially when they end up in a school - but the dark storyline and the themes in Ordinary Monsters made it all work.Can definitely see this is a film too.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very slow burner. Needs tighter editing.
  

*by C***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 August 2023*

At 50% I was ready to give up. Too many characters with not enough depth, too much repetition and a long drawn out multi faceted saga that was wearisome. Then it got better and I carried on . Shades of x-men and Harry Potter. Messy ending set up for a second book . Not cohesive enough for me to enjoy. The characters need rounding and developing and the plot needs clarity and focus. Worth a try but not for me .
