Frankenstein's Bride: A Mystery (The Circle Of Roses)
Reader Reviews
Interesting Point of View
Interesting point of view as basically the story is centred on Dr. Frankenstein's female creation Terra. Story itself is kind of disjointed and reads more of a summary than an actual story. Also, emotional reactions of characters to major violent situations seem kind of odd.
Could have been better.
Sorry, this short story just left me flat.
Very interesting
Martha Wickham has crafted a compelling and suspenseful story that perfectly blends romance and supernatural mystery. The characters are well-developed, and the plot kept me engaged from beginning to end.
Excellent
A great short story
Fun and Interesting
I liked the concept of having a story told from the Bride’s point of view and thought the ending was good. I really felt like this could have been developed more. I would like to have seen the characters fleshed out enough that I could form an emotional bond with them and follow them through the story. The plot could use a little more refinement though. That could heighten the suspense and tension, and have the Bride agonize over her big decision in the end.
a cute story
This is a short story which are not always my favorite. It's very different than what I thought something with Frankenstein in the title would be. A cute read.
Thriller
Writing needs more work to make it better. The story sounds like it was written in a hurry and without editing. A surprising second story at the end which does not relate to the first part. This can be a good scary short story for teens or young adults after improvements.
Great twist on Frankenstein
A decent read for a short story. Offers a fresh perspective from the Bride's side. It can be slightly hard to keep up with the details in the book.
Unexpected. Easy light read.
I didn’t know what to expect of the story but liked the one on Frankenstein’s Bride. The stories are out of the usual. Short entertaining reads.
Barely readable.
I fully agree with Ty's review. Accordingly, I'll simply restate that review here because it concisely addressed the problems with this book. "The Mystery of Frankenstein's Bride is confusing and difficult to read. The author tells the audience what is happening instead of showing us through details. The dialogue is stilted and unnatural. The names of the characters are inconsistent. Sometimes, the author will switch back and forth between first and last names within the same paragraph, which I found confusing. There is an interesting story here, albeit one that requires effort to understand."
