A review by epoxy
The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter by Theodora Goss

3.0

I’m torn on how to rate this book.

On the one hand, I think it’s a 4. It was well written and well edited which, for some unfathomable reason, has become rare in ebooks. I really enjoyed parts of it. The characters are fun and mostly well developed.

On the other hand a part of me wants to say 3 because, I just didn’t like it. I don’t like the inclusion of everyone from Sherlock Holmes to Frankenstein to Dr. Moreau to Jekyll & Hyde. I didn’t like the whole beast-folk thing. I didn’t like the apparent melting of alchemy and evolution.
