European Travel for the Monstrous Gentlewoman

3.5 ⭐️

This book was pure fun. If you like anything Victorian, involving vampires, Frankenstein, 19th century
“monster” stories, that's not too heavy and is totally unique, this will do the trick. A feminist, revisionist retelling of sorts of the classic tales, the members of the Athena Club set off of another set of epic adventures across Europe in this book, to exciting ends. I enjoyed the characters, feeling like they could all be dear friends, and the various twists and turns throughout. While the writing is not exactly groundbreaking, the mysterious plotting and quirky characters stuck with me regardless. It was exactly what I needed right now.
