• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

This book was a solid reimagining of Frankenstein. Although it was a slow start, the author did a good job of mimicking Shelley’s style. Without question, the creature was my favorite character in the book, although I felt its affection for Mary was a little bit far-fetched.

Spoiler

I was also furious that, like the original Victor, she abandoned her creation to fend for itself and to most likely perish (although I liked that the conclusion was as open-ended as the original).

An interesting read for fans of Frankenstein!
