The Mummy of Monte Cristo by J. Trevor Robinson

5.0

I loved the tale this is based off of and was excited to see how Robinson would stay true to the material while putting a paranormal spin on the context. Anyone that has spent any time in the pages originally spun by Dumas will find Robinson staying true to major character details and plot movement. The pacing felt similar and there was a certain epic scale to this tale that is often not part of modern fiction. I was intrigued to read these pages to find how the paranormal spin would root and resolve. I embraced this new spin on a classic and thoroughly enjoyed it. The original is a classic and cannot be truly matched. However by changing the environment and a few key plot points, Robinson does a beautiful job refreshing it and staying true to its basic principles. Loved it.
