4.5☆ rounded up.
Written in the style of the classics, Our Hideous Progeny gives us an immersive world, full of experimental science, combative prejudices, and challenging relationships.
This novel is fun, intriguing, thought-provoking, and it has stayed with me well past finishing the last page.

So, so, so good. A emotional book. Definitely recommend to anybody who liked Frankenstein. Omg I can’t even explain but it was so good I had so much fun reading this and I cried so much.

I'm conscious that I've been giving a lot of 5* reviews lately and had every intention of sticking to 4, but what can I say, I've just been picking banger after banger lately.

All the gothic intrigue and darkness of Frankenstein, with a ferocious and lovable narrator, an exciting story and a little bit of cute queer romance for good measure.

I loved it.
