Status Updates From A Dowry of Blood

This felt less like a story and more like reading a long letter by vampire woman I don’t know.

There’s very little character work, and without that, the emotions don’t land. I kept asking myself why I should care about these people, or this situation, and the book never really answered that.

I stopped reading partway through. It just didn’t justify the time it was asking for.

I might dnf this.😮‍💨It’s a behind the scenes look at why having multiple wives is such a bad idea 🥲The jealousy and paranoia of the narrator is effecting my mood outside the book which is crazy and also I guess I should have expected it but I wanted more yearning, less sex. Also Dracula is so controlling and icky. The sex is R rated, not X so props to that
