"Her Dark Curiousity" was at least as good as its prequel. More of the same from Juliet, Edward, and Montgomery, but set in England this time instead of the island. The more domestic setting made the events and the turmoil even more unsettling than similar experiences on the island somehow. The "science" was also easier to swallow this time, most likely because of the large absence of physically sliced-and-spliced creatures. I always had a hard time in the first book figuring out how anyone could make anything even vaguely resembling a human out of three rabbits and a sheep. I own three rabbits and a sheep. even if I squished the four together, there's not enough mass for a human-sized creature. But anyway. Good story, and the ending opened up the third installment to yet another famous horror story.
