This Monstrous Thing by Mackenzi Lee
4.0
I bought this book on a whim and it turned out to be quite different than I thought it would be. The story is much more complex, the characters darker, and has plenty of action. The story focuses on the main character, Alisdair, struggles with guilt over the monster that's become his brother.
Though Alisdair was quite dramatic and snippey more often than not, there were some great moments between him and the other characters. Drama between plenty of characters added for some interesting reading, and the steampunk world was easy to enter.
This was a fairly quick read for me and I had a great time doing so. I really enjoyed the ending and how secrets spilled out through the pages. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a gothic, dark, drama filled read with broody characters.
