4.75
challenging dark tense fast-paced

Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I had to dock a little bit of a star simply because Gris Grimly rewrote one single scene to make Elizabeth and Victor related by blood as if their relationship wasn't already weird enough and then changed a few words here and there to call Victor her cousin instead of by his name in the original text. Other than that, beautifully illustrated and a perfect read for anyone who may be too scared to pick up the original book.
