However, I also wasn't that much blown away by the story itself. I struggled the most with the chapters narrated from Frankenstein's point of view, as the story progressed they became quite tiresome and I just did not care much for him as a character, I just wanted him to stop droning on and on.
I enjoyed a bit more the sections focused on the creature's perspective. The themes addressed are interesting but the characterization and the story development were rather unremarkable. The overall reading experience was a bit middle-of-the-road for me.
Graphic: Murder, Stalking, Violence, Death, Body horror, and Grief
Moderate: Death of parent, Misogyny, Child death, Animal cruelty, Fire/Fire injury, Mental illness, and Suicidal thoughts
Minor: Kidnapping, Colonisation, Genocide, Islamophobia, Racism, Injury/injury detail, and Suicide attempt
