When Lizzie Lavenza enrolled at Ingold as its first female medical student, she knew she wouldn't have an easy time. From class demands to being an outsider among her male cohorts, she'll have to go above and beyond to prove herself. So when she stumbles across what appears to be a faulty Bio-mechanical--one of the mechanized cadavers created to service the school--she jumps at the chance to fix it and get ahead in the program.
Only this Bio-mechanical isn't like the others. Where they are usually empty-minded and perfectly obedient, this one seems to have thoughts, feelings...and self-awareness.
Soon Lizzie realizes that it is Victor Frankenstein--a former student who died under mysterious circumstances. Victor, it seems, still has a spark of human intelligence inside him, along with memories of things he discovered before his untimely death...and a suspicion that he was murdered to keep that information from getting out.
Suddenly Lizzie finds herself intertwined in dark secrets and sabotage that put her life, and the lives of Victor and their friends, in danger. But Lizzie's determined to succeed--even if that means fighting an enemy who threatens the entire British Empire.
My Review:
Oh, this book was really fantastic! I loved reading about this world and these characters! The mystery was so interesting, as well! I just had to keep reading this book! The idea of Bio-mechanicals is very interesting, and I enjoyed learning more!
Lizzie is a female breaking into the world of medicine. From the instructors to the fellow students, she has a lot of obstacles in her path. But she proves them wrong time and time again, which was really great to read! It sucked that she had to do double the work for half the credit, if that, though.
Being in Victor's head was kinda hard. I mean, he'd been killed to protect some secret, and then brought back as a Bio-mechanical. Who is treated rather poorly. And that he's different from the others, he's aware of his situation. Not fun!
That ending had a lot going on! Like, there was the reveal of the secret, of the Queen being a bio-mechanical. There was the secret that one of the instructor's was hiding. Then there was the outrage of the local town's inhabitants. Yeah. So much going on and so great to read!
Loved reading this book, it was so great, and I can't wait to read more!
