There are a lot of things that bothered me about this book:
- both the language and the mindset were way too modern
- victor's dark and bad side wasn't explored enough to make him interesting but enough to make him unlikeable
- it's gross that both Konrad and Victor were in love with Elizabeth who was raised as their sister and even worse that Elizabeth viewed Victor as a brother but was in love with his twin
However it was a dark and interesting idea and there were a lot of plotwists I did not expect.
