Synopsis

Pinocchio can't believe the Moonlit Court is his home! With royal banquets, a regal wardrobe, and a whole new set of rules, Pinocchio has a lot to adjust to in his new life as prester alongside Princess Lazuli.

But before they can get comfortable in their thrones, a fancy dinner at the palace is interrupted by an unwelcome guest-a monster! And this isn't just any monster; it's a manticore, a beast that was imprisoned centuries earlier. Desperate to locate the prison and make sure none of its other monsters were able to escape, Lazuli, Pinocchio, and their Celestial Brigade set out to save Abaton from these ancient beings.

Their journey requires intelligence, strength, and a dash of the magic only presters control. But when Pinocchio tries to use his powers, they have an unintended effect: he is turning back into a wooden automa. And if he's not careful, he may lose his human form forever.

The second book in the Out of Abaton series continues John Claude Bemis's reimagining of Pinocchio in an action-packed adventure that celebrates friendship, tolerance, and the power of being yourself.

Goodreads review by Mandy on June 29, 2017

I adored this book to the moon and back. There were so many deep sitting themes in here that were presented beautifully amid adventure and sword fights. The idea of tolerance, the idea that we get a choice in who and what we are and are not bound to the messages our physical appearances may send. Th......more

A super twisty plot in this follow up to The Wooden Prince, with wonderfully imaginative characters as Bemis grows the world of Abaton!

The excellent sequel to The Wooden Prince, Lord of Monsters is jam packed with action, and it weaves mystery with several twists. John Claude Bemis constructs a vivid, magical world and characters with good values. . . some villains excepted. It's a good page-turner, and of course it leaves you read......more
