Review Detail

What I liked:
This installment of the Mary series focuses on Mary (Godwin) Shelley and Ada (Byron) Lovelace. If you're unfamiliar with this series, the authors take real people (named Jane and Mary) and give them new (better), more fantastical stories. In My Imaginary Mary, Mary and Ada meet and become fast friends. Throughout their accounts, they encounter fae godmothers, automatons, storms, and mad scientists. These adventures might even lead Mary to write a well-known novel...Silly, fast-paced, and sprinkled with a bit of actual history, this book was a fun read. I truly loved the arc for PAN, and an automaton turned real boy. He added to the story.
Final Verdict:
Mashing together two unlikely friends, retelling the Frankenstein story with fae powers to be able to sneak in peter pan as well was brilliant. This trio of authors is fantastic and consistently delivers a healthy, thought-out, twisty historical fantasy retelling.
