The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White
4.0
4/5 stars
"a girl given to a boy as a gift"
"a girl whose whole life revolves around the brilliant boy she loves"
"a girl who inadvertently helps create a monster"
I went into this book thinking it was going to be just "meh". Let me just say i'm pleasantly surprised. I loved this. This would have been a perfect spooky season read. I partly listened to this on audio and something about the narrator made the atmosphere of this story come to life. From the beginning, the writing is so ominous and foreboding. The historic setting just added to it. All of the characters were flawed and so well written. I loved reading about the relationship dynamic between Elizabeth and Victor. I’m honestly in love with Kiersten White's writing style, it always draws me in.
This wasn't a perfect story, it had its flaws. Definitely not for everyone, but i'd still highly recommend.
