The Mad Scientist’s Daughter by Cassandra Rose Clarke
5.0
I have been tracking Cassandra Rose Clarke's writing ever since I have
read her "The Assassin's Curse", which I absolutely adored. I love the
complexity of her characters and her superb worldbuilding. This book didn't
disappoint.
Cat, is a little girl when her father brings Finn home. When she first sees
him, she thinks he is a ghost. But as years pass by, she realizes that Finn is
one-of-a-kind robot, a complex mix of machines that is supposed to be her
tutor. And as she grows up, she can't help her growing attraction to him.
But robots don't feel, they are programmed, and Cat goes on with her life.
But forgeting Finn is something Cat's mind was never programmed to do.
What is the story behind Finn? Who created him? Will Cat's life be whatever
she hoped for. The Mad Scientist's Daughter will leave you enchanted,
heartbroken, and perfectly happy.
Cassandra Rose Clarke never disappoints. As I was reading her second
book, I realized some things. First, her "The Assassin's Curse" had a lot of
worldbuilding but this one, was more of a character-driven story. Second, she
tends to write complex, slow-developing romances. But she makes them truly
believable. Third, just like her romance aspect, Cassandra makes up
characters that you feel for, feel with, and fall in love with. Complex and
multi-layered, her characters are strangely realistic, even in such a not-so-
ordinary world!
I absolutely adored this novel. it made me laugh. It made me cry. It made
me think about the true meaning of love. True love, not something cutout of
cardboard and taped together with lies. This is recommended to anyone who
enjoys a very powerful, realistic, character-driven story!
