dark medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

I really enjoyed the first half of the book but once the characters headed out to the countryside to build The Creature the pace became so, so slow. I think Mary’s struggle to participate in and be accepted by the science community of the day was more interesting than the retelling of the story of Frankenstein’s monster, which was ultimately an unnecessary distraction.
