Down Comes the Night by Allison Saft
5.0
YA fantasy meets Frankenstein. I didn't know that was something I needed in my life, but it absolutely is.
The first few chapters I was a little bit hesitant. It didn't quite seem to fit the cover or gothic description and it was difficult to pin down exactly where the world was, (at first the magic made me picture middle ages but eventually realized it had more similarities to turn of the century London)...
BUT as soon as Wren arrived at the manor I was hooked. Great character development and relationships, enough twists that you think you know what's going to happen, without ever being sure, and beautiful combination of magic and science.
In her world of black and white, Wren sees all the grays, and that is something that we need more of in this world.
