This Monstrous Thing by Mackenzi Lee

5.0

I was so lucky to get my hands on an ARC of this book! While I'm not a big horror reader or even a Frankenstein fan, the concept of this steampunk retelling intrigued me from when I first heard about the book, so I was kind of dying to read it. Once I started, the characters hooked me from page one. Such pain and love and agony! Ach, the agony! Most of all, I loved the combination of historical and fantastical details, and how this world came to life so vividly through Alasdair's eyes. Such an amazing twist on a classic, and such gorgeous writing!
