Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Audio for an arc of this book!
In this fun continuation to the Lady Janies, Mary Shelley and Ada Lovelace team up to make a magically animated automaton come to life!
This was very fun as most of this series is, but there is nothing really that deep to it. Kinda sad they made so much fun of Percy Shelley because I actually love his poetry. And I wish this was more creepy and Frankenstein-y which is what I was hoping for.
There are a lot of jokes and pop culture references in these books. Some of them hit the mark, but some of them are a little too cheesy/corny for me. Every once in a while the fourth wall breaking comes across as trying too hard instead of refreshingly funny or charming.
Overall, I think it was worth the read and I will probably continue reading this series as new books come out!
