Week 51 Review: Inferno

From Goodreads:

The truth about the death of Maika's mother has been revealed, and Maika has come undone. As her allies scramble to save her soul, they find themselves in the unlikeliest of places―the beautiful and brutal prison planet where the Monstra have long been locked away. This visit to the site of Zinn's worst nightmares might just hold the key to Maika's survival―and to the long-buried origins of the Known World.

My Review:
Oh, this was such a fantastic read! I've really loved this series, and after the ending of the last volume, I had to know what was going to happen next! And boy, was it a ride, and so much happened, we learned a bit more about the history of the Monstra, and their prison. 

That it takes places on Golga, the place where the Monstra have been locked away, was so fascinating, and we learned so much about them, and Zinn's betrayal, and what they've done to survive, and the Fallen Houses and the and how they're different. 

Maika wants to die-she killed her mother, and she ended up shredding her mental self almost to pieces-until she was a head, connected to Zinn instead of the other way around. So that was an interesting dynamic, and I enjoyed that, and Maika's mental healing.

One big thing was that Maika is descended from Zinn-and the Monstra haven't been able to have kids, so they don't know how they did it. And we briefly saw said kids, and that one special one, but that whole past is still shrouded in mystery, and I can't wait to find out! 

Absolutely loved reading this volume, and I can't wait for more, this ends in another shocking way!
