I made my own Victor Frankenstein design because it bothers me how many ppl think he’s some old crazy mad scientist!! No he’s a weird college student who probably likes men

Death is the disease that broke my family. I'm sick of seeing it. My hypothesis? If death is a disease... then there's a cure. And I'm gunna find it.

Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match was the third Frankenstein book I read this month and it was....fine.

The premise is that Victor Frankenstein's younger sister can't find a suitable man to marry so she decides to create her own, picking out all his parts according to what she finds most attractive (and yes that includes his dick). Unfortunately he remembers nothing about his identity and wont marry her (or more importantly sleep with her) until he figures out who he was.

It's a silly concept, perhaps a touch on the icky side when you consider the original text treated the creature as Victor's son, but I went in expecting something light and fun. And I spose thats mostly what I got.

I think there were a couple big things that meant I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped I would. One is my fault - this book followed two Very strong Frankenstein inspired books which set the bar very high and while it is unfair to compare them to Angelika because they are vastly different genres and tones, the brilliance of Pride and Prometheus and Our Hideous Progeny really made the issues of AFMHM stand out.

The second thing however, is very much a fault with the book. To me it felt as if the author had over complicated her story unnecessarily. The focus drifted away from the quest to figure out who her beau was before his untimely death, got sidetracked with about 3 other storylines, and then felt a bit rushed right at the end when everything had to be wrapped up.

Add on top of that some issues with dialogue (I don't think Thorne knows how to write male/female dialogue that isn't flirting which meant some of the Victor/Angelika convos were bizarre and gross) and the historical setting (why set a book in 1850 if its going to read like it could be 2023?), not to mention the implications of the very end of the book with the housekeeper's niece (Pride and Prometheus attempted a similar sort of thing much more successfully), and the whole thing really just fell flat for me.

Certainly not the worst book I've read this year. I did enjoy parts of it, the ending even had me tearing up a little. But I can't possibly give it more than 3 stars.
