"Perhaps I'm a monster. Perhaps we all are."
This was a completely fascinating and interesting retelling of [a:Mary Shelley|11139|Mary Shelley|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1386351586p2/11139.jpg]'s [b:Frankenstein|18490|Frankenstein|Mary Shelley|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1381512375s/18490.jpg|4836639]. I love that Mary herself was showcased in the story. There is a thin line between revolutionist and monster, a man before his times and one that is killing for revenge. I loved the thin line and the ambiguity to everyone.
I also love the automatons and their role in the story. That part of steampunk is also so fun to read about.
