Synopsis:
|
Will Henry and his
master rescue a friend of the Monstrumologist's at the man's wife's
behest. Upon their return, they attend the annual Monstrumologist
meeting in New York. The man is not better and the wife is an
ex-fiance of the Monstrumologist.
I abandoned this at
the 64% mark.

My
Thoughts:
|
Warthrop the monstrumologist had a fiance who then married his best
friend. The woman reveals that she is still in love with Warthrop and
they commit adultery while the best friend lays dying in a hospital.
Ouch, right?
Then there is this wonderful piece of narration about it from Will
Henry:
'Some
would judge them. I do not.
If
it was a sin, it was sanctified-
the
trespass consecrated by the act itself.
He
met himself in the purity of her eyes
and
obtained absolution upon her altar.'

All I could think of was the verse from Isaiah:
Woe to those
who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for
light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for
sweet and sweet for bitter!
Isaiah 5:20
What
kind of messed up thinking is Yancey putting into his book? I want NO
part of something so abhorrent. I DNF'd this book and I'm abandoning
the series and I'm now going to avoid Yancey.
