This was a fun, fluffy take on Frankenstein. In this one, Frankenstein actually IS the monster, so there‘s that. There were parts that strained credulity (one character says she can‘t stop the bleeding, and when asked where the blood is coming from, she doesn‘t know. Umm—so how have you been TRYING to stop the bleeding?🤨) Cute YA tale, and I appreciated reading a YA book that didn‘t bludgeon me over the head with a social justice homily! 😁

Cadaver and Queen was a lot of fun! I was engrossed throughout the entire story, beginning from page one. It‘s a very unique and unusual story. Character development and world-building were consistent, and the story flowed very well. I could actually play it out like a movie in my mind. I will read the sequel very soon. I recommend this to any YA reader who likes a fast paced and consuming read.

Ohhhh this was actually fun and not what I was expecting! It kinda reminded me of Stalking Jack the Ripper and some Frankenstein. Victorian era sexism really does piss me off. The romance was kinda cheesy but I actually didn't mind it. Lots of mystery and science which I'm always a sucker for. Pretty decent for a sci-fi/fantasy stand alone.

vkois88 It's funny that you mention Stalking Jack the Ripper bc when I read the info page on this book, that was the first thought that came to mind... and definitely the reason I stacked it! I love that series. So hopefully I can find a copy of this to read and compare 😊 6y
