My love for Mary Shelly only grows. A unique and engaging way to write her story. My deepest thanks to the author for listing their bibliography at the end, so I may now read more on one of the most influential and inspiring writers. I put ‘medium’ because the poetry at times could use a double take, but that is coming from someone with a learning disability. I read it within 2 hours.

4.25

I'm giving an extra .25 for the art. This is quite the interesting retelling of Mary Shelley's life. I didn't know quite how tangled it was, and especially dotted with such pain and torment. The art was really good and the way that she crafted the poetry was equally as entrancing. Quite the book!
