Disappointedly, the inclusion of sea monsters did little to interest me in this story. It held my attention more after I started to understand the book's themes and how the sister's contrast, but the original scenes are mostly just people talking about social conventions. I did think the addition of the sea monsters and how they transformed Regency-era England were clever, but through most of my reading experience I was bored and ready for the book to be over.
