The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
adventurous
hopeful
tense
medium-paced
4.0
I love the way Moreno describes physical spaces, bodily sensations, movement and action, clothing, and scenery. I really enjoyed the two perspective characters and the structure of the storytelling as it alternated between their perspectives. The plot itself dragged a little for me until the last fifty pages unfortunately. But overall this was a wonderful reimagining with carefully researched historical elements and relatable characters.
