The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
3.0
The Island of Doctor Moreau is one of my favorite books of all time. I had high hopes for a feminist leaning retelling but it left me with a lot to be desired. It read like fanfiction.
Some chapter repeated from a different POV which annoyed me.
I did like how some of the racism, sexism and colonialism is reframed, but honestly I didn't need to read a while ass book when I wrote this critical review in college.
It was fine. I am in the fence about the redemptive ending.
