The Monster in the Hollows

The Monster in the Hollows (The Wingfeather Saga #3)
By: Andrew Peterson

“When it rages long enough, hate doesn’t need a reason. It burns for the sake of its own heat and devours whatever, or whomever, is set before it.”

“The Maker fears not the doings of Will. He weaves and sends the tale of the world, and watches o’er its endings. He has bid me bear my courage. He my fear has long assuaged. Even as he warns me of my rebel son’s ambition, even as his shining eyes are lined with grief in joy, I sense, my son, a mighty love for me and each of us, his children, and I am fain to trust his voice. He means to make his subjects merciful and wise; sorrow and struggle bringeth both. We will, he tells me, grow by grieving, live by dying, love by losing. The heart itself is the field of battle and the garden green.”

So. Good. He continues the saga in a new setting- the Hollows. More troubles to overcome. More history revealed. More truth told. And we are reminded that in our weakness, He is strong.

Great story-telling and character development. Peterson has created an intriguing world in this series- one that is more familiar than we realize. One more book to go!
