The only thing keeping it from being 5 stars is that it's a slow burn and took me a very long time to finish. Loved the story, loved the complicated characters, loved the feminine rage. Loved this book. Set it down and immediately texted a friend to recommend it.

I won't deny it; it was a bit slow.
But the writing was beautiful, the main character complex and it was sort of a retelling of Frankenstein, or at least a spin off.
