Still curled up sick in bed with tissue and hot water bottle but progress has been made. I can actually stay awake long enough to read. So starting this one which is one of the November roles for #roll100.

@PuddleJumper I can‘t believe it‘s November and the year is almost over. I thank you for hosting this event as it had helped me clear a bunch from my TBR list & prevented me from buying more books ( I did by some , but not nearly as much🤣)

wanderinglynn Hope you feel better soon! 13mo

Ruthiella At least you can read now, but I hope you are back to 100% soon! ❤️ (edited) 13mo

Elizabeth stays in the background as the cousin then wife then victim in the story of Victor Frankenstein. This is her version of the story.

I wasn‘t expecting to be as engrossed in this as I was. White takes a background, flat character & gives her a depth & internal world that blew me away. And finally a retelling that treats Victor as the creepy incel he really is. I‘m a little torn on the ending, but overall I really loved this. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

I was not expecting this to turn out to be one of my favorite retellings ever! I loved that this author added such amazing, cunning female characters to a story that had originally had none. Her author‘s note at the end sums it up perfectly! Elizabeth is brilliant, somewhat morally ambiguous, but she‘s a SURVIVOR, and I was inspired by her resilience in the face of so much abuse and loss. Loved it! 5/5 #whimsicalreads #bookclub

The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein | Kiersten White

Lightning clawed across the sky, tracing veins through the clouds and marking the pulse of the universe itself.
I sighed happily as rain slashed the carriage windows and thunder rumbled so loudly we could not even hear the wheels bump when the dirt lane met the cobblestones at the edge of Ingolstadt.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this one, so I was pleasantly surprised when I liked it. It's not as terrifying as they lead on, but it does have a horror factor to it.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a mild thriller, or to anyone who loves a classic-type horror.

📚📖Happy Reading!📖📚

so-so

Just okay for me. The style of writing was difficult, in my opinion. It went back and forth a lot and it was hard to follow in parts. Interesting retelling of a classic, though!

I‘ve had this for about a year, & finally read it. I enjoyed the twist on Frankenstein, getting to know the female characters and highlighting who the monster actually is. The focus on the females did make one part much sadder though. Definitely creepier than I usually read but not scary enough for nightmares.
