I adored this book. It's the story of a girl whose brother is outcast by their village because he's turning into a monster. Okay, writing it out doesn't make it sound that great but the characters and writing make it phenomenal. According to the book description Hitler tried to open a magic portal and um, things did not go well. The world is divided into Above and Below and monsters are everywhere! There is an eel woman, a witch, and a wolf. I love the way magic is dealt with in this book. It's so fascinating. I really liked the first book I read by Kristin Jacques, Ragnarok Unwound and passionately waiting for a sequel! This book was given to me by Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my opinions.
