It feels like I inhaled The Daughter of Doctor Moreau too quickly, reading it in just a few quick sittings. But luckily, I can blame Silvia Moreno-Garcia, who made this novel all too readable and hard to put down, haha.
I especially enjoyed the interplay between Montgomery and Carlota's points of view, and their respective understandings of love - one of them jaded, the other eager. And truly, even though Daughter is also about the hybrids, and about land - I read it mostly as a novel about love, passion, and family. Moreno-Garcia delivered with this one!
