Plus it's it's own story so I think you'll like it.My Thoughts....

Oh well. I found the incorporation of Frankenstein really interesting and creative. My dislike of Mary was pretty strong too. She's one of those antagonists I mentioned without naming them.My Thoughts....

I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS STEAMPUNK! Also I love well-done history and I freaking love the idea that this book acknowledges the original work and builds off it. Also I like characters like Alisdair who are a little nuts. Lovely review! <br /><br />C.J. <br /><a href="http://www.sarcasmandlemons.com" rel="nofollow">Sarcasm & Lemons</a> C.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03239098373565351135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158143373242218557.post-40803627867347062652015-10-02T17:11:19.357-04:002015-10-02T17:11:19.357-04:00Oooh nice!

Might try reading that one before this one! We'll see!

I really love the way the story was told and how Frankenstein was incorporated :D I just realized I did not talk about Mary at all in my review. I guess my dislike of her is strong lol! I found her to be selfish but I guess her crazy world drove her to it. Lovely review Cassi :)Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417123941765693827noreply@blogger.com
