Review by aseel_reads - Mary and the Birth of Frankenstein

Mary and the Birth of Frankenstein by Anne Eekhout

2.0

challenging dark tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This had potential but I think the mixing of actual plot points

like her son crying

with gothic fantasy

them on a boat and drowing or something

made it hard to follow the story, which lessened my enjoyment of it

I liked the 1812 timeline a lot more than 1816

especially because I hated Percy and Clara

but some things could have been expanded on

what's with the fish head??

and I think the hints of Frankenstein were there

creepy David

but I think the hints were too light handed, I would rather they have been more heavy handed
