I'm not a big fantasy reader, but when I see a book with any culture's mythology, I have to read it! I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to follow along with the world building, which wasn't excessive. The way the Indian mythology was woven into the familiar story of Frankenstein was flawless.
I was interested in this book for my high school students and a mythology elective I teach, and this will perfectly fit what I was looking for. The characters were complex, three-dimensional, and relatable. The reader will also see them struggle with doing the right thing and having to face the consequences of their actions, which is so important for teens to read about.
The addition of the dog was a beautiful touch, and the non-binary character was such an important way of making this story inclusive for all readers. The ending was spectacular, and I can't wait to see where book two takes me!
