TW: frequent mentioning of multiple sets of dead parents, public humiliation, some scary imagery (like the roots being described as dead peoples hands reaching out from the earth), villain cuts through protagonists skin multiple times and describes carving his mark out, mention of brutality that monsters/beasts can do if too wild.

I'm not super surprised because of how dark Foody"s other books are but this is definitely darker than I feel comfortable recommending to lower middle graders. Scary beasts that transform their owners into monsters, lots of discussion of dead parents, PTSD flashbacks and episodes on page and violence. I'd save it for those who are older.

I didn't love the twist. I don't think it was set up well.

Kind of getting annoyed that Barkley continues to bond with his beast and then has the same moral conundrum and then goes through another trial and it repeats. The same sequence has happened with every trial and its not as compelling anymore.
