A reimagining of the universe of Dr. Moreau, this book tells the story of his daughter and her first experiences with reality.
I had higher hopes for this story, but in the end I found it somewhat bland and predictable. While it was fast-paced, the story wasn’t anything groundbreaking. It was an enjoyable read, but nothing special.
