four-stars

A young adult sci-fi book that gets the strong female protagonist right. Clara, the main character has a strong voice and was easy to become emotionally invested in early in the story. The inclusion of dating and child abuse was done well and added a deeper emotional dimension to what could’ve just been another YA sci-fi book. “All These Monsters” does a wonderful job of including diverse characters and showing realistic friendships. The world-building was mediocre, but since the book got so many other things right, it didn’t take away from the story. Recommended for sci-fi fans ages 13 and up.
