The Mad Scientist's Daughter by Cassandra Rose Clarke
5.0
I read this book in four hours on 9/8/14. Nonstop, while at work. My head is reeling right now, and so is my heart. I don't even know how to properly describe the emotional rollercoaster this book put me in.
The writing is poignant and simple. The characters are well-fleshed out without drowning the readers into too much detail. Cat the ice queen was especially tragic; I didn't know if I liked her or hated her. Finn broke my heart. The relationship felt real. I understood Cat's selfish actions because I've been there, and I understood why Finn did what he did, because I would have done the same. They were both relatable, and this kind of realism was what made me not want to put the book down.
If you liked the film Bicentennial Man, you'll most likely adore this book, too. They're very similar. And if you haven't seen that movie, you should ASAP.
